On March 9th Adam, Maia and myself headed down for perhaps our last camping trip in the keys before the big move out to Austin. We stayed at Bahia Honda. Originally Adam and Maia were going alone, but I decided to come at the last minute and take a greyhound bus back on Sunday night (that story is for later..).

Miss Maia loves her some edamame as you can see ..

Pretty much all we did this entire weekend is sit on the beach, swim, and walk. It was a very relaxing trip. One of the coolest sites on the key is Flagler's old railroad bridge which you can walk out on to get a great view of the island. This railway was damaged in a hurricane in 1935 and they never repaired it. I can only imagine how beautiful it must have been back in the early 1900's to ride a train all the way to Key West.

I headed out Sunday afternoon on my bus ride back home to Fort Lauderdale and Maia and Adam stayed for 2 more days. Sunday night they got horribly rained on and the rain fly didn't hold. I hear Maia was a trooper though, but time for a new tent!

 Monday Adam took Maia down to Key West to walk around for a bit. They paid a visit to the statue of one of my favs who spent a good portion of his life down there. Ernest Hemingway.
