Hunter's 9th birthday gift from his grandparents was to spend 24 hours with them in any way he would like. He replied to this opportunity with a request for going to "that island in Florida where they have cheeseburgers" (he's such a foodie). So that's what today was all about--a trip to Cabbage Key and the chance to eat a cheeseburger in Paradise. Here are a few highlights for the day.
The Tropic Star, built to resemble the African Queen, awaits our departure.
Riding the Tropic Star was an easygoing deal...these antsy boys could move from bench to bench because the crowds aboard were thin, thanks to the stew of storms going on further up the northern coast that caused cool weather in the south.
Arriving.
Merry Christmas from Cabbage Key Inn where Hunter and Blake dined on the storied "cheeseburger in paradise" amidst walls plastered with dollar bills.
After lunch, the Tropic Star took us to Cayo Costa State Park where we could enjoy the beach. This picture illustrates the Shark Tooth Walk. You walk along the beach in this hooked position, searching the sands for small black teeth. Today the guys picked up 24.
Last Stop: The Sandy Hook restaurant for a seaside dinner of mac & cheese.

What? no kayak? Any Jimmy Buffett sightings? Did you do the Mangrove Maze? Find any sand dollars? And what's this about cold weather?
Glad you had fun, wish we could have been there.
