We headed out after breakfast to tour Key West. Since all we have to drive is the RV we thought about renting a 6 seater golf cart (driving golf carts around the town is a thing there). The price was a bit steep, plus we all have two good legs and are not afraid of a little walking. We got an Uber to downtown and began our day. The first stop was Date and Thyme a natural grocery and cafe. We had real food smoothies to energize us for a day of touring. They were delicious!
backpacks on, smoothies in hand, ready for a great day! 
Cool snail!
Our next stop was a rum distillery. Now rum has always been Jen’s drink of choice. So naturally touring the first legal rum distillery in the Keys was on the list. We all found it informative and learned a lot about good quality rum bs the stuff the big companies produce. The adults even tried the 152 proof non watered down base. It was so full of flavor (although very strong). After tasting a few of their finished runs we bought a bottle of Vanilla Brûlée and went on our way.
Our hand was our shot glass. 
A rare moment of everyone getting along. The kids gathered to play story cubes in a corner while we tried rum flavors.
Our next stop was Mallory square which is pretty great at sunset, but that most likely would not be happening for us. We did enjoy the Historic Statue Garden and looking through the people who made history in Key West. Our next stop was the Truman Waterfront Park. We were all sweaty at this point and running through the water was the perfect place to be.
By this time the smoothie power had worn off and we headed to Moondog Cafe for a late lunch. We look carefully for restaurants when we travel. We eat clean and stick to real foods, even when traveling. This restaurant had a lot of gluten free options, which is helpful as homemade sourdough is the only gluten some of our crew can handle. This restaurant was so yummy! We left full and happy.
We walked to Fort Zachary Taylor a civil war fort on the beach. It was hot and although the fort was neat the kids had only one thought, beach time. The keys are not made from dirt and earth like islands they are created from coral. This area in particular is built from dredging the channel and adding to the land on the key. Therefore the beach was not soft white sand but big chunks of dead coral. The water was also filled with seaweed. Needless to say it was not our favorite beach of all time but it was unique and most importantly cool. The kids had a great time and everyone was cooled off after an hour.

We rinsed off (the boys got dressed) and we headed to the Southernmost Point for the quintessential Key West photo. After waiting in line and getting the perfect shots we got an Uber for home. Although heading back to Mallory Point for sunset would have been great everyone was exhausted and ready to rest.
