Martha Loves Sitka: Florida 2014

Wow, Michael and I had such a nice vacation at the end of the year! We went to Florida and started off with a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean. We went on the Norwegian Get Away which is a fairly new ship and HUGE! I picked it for the water slides but due to high winds did not get to use them as much as we could have. Just for the record also, there is no such thing as a cheap cruise! Hahaha
We went to St. Maarten, St, Thomas and Nassau. The weather was great with a couple of good rain down pours. We got plenty of sun and had a great time. Would not do another freestyle cruise though. Michael described it as alacarte.

We spent the night in Key Largo the day we got off the cruise. Found a cute little motel right on the beach and watched a beautiful sunset. Headed to Key West the next day where we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast called The Southern Most House. It was amazing! The pool looked out over the ocean and it was fun that the seagulls would join you in the pool to drink and bathe. We spent 4 days in Key West and had a awesome time. The food was fabulous and we ended up walking about 9 miles a day.

We then went back to Orlando and spent the night with my nephew and his girlfriend and had a nice visit. They have 3 crazy dogs that couldn't get enough of us petting and playing with them. So cute.

Headed to Georgia to see my twin's new digs. They had moved just a couple of days before we arrived but we didn't take it personally. lol They have an awesome place on a river and it was nice to visit even for a short time.

All in all we had a fabulous vacation! It is always nice to get in the warm and sunshine for an extended amount of time to revitalize and remember what a beautiful place we live even though it can be dark and cold at times. Still loving Sitka, but love vacations too!
