Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL: Another beautiful, warm day today. Donned my shorts and tube top and sat outside in the sun reading my latest book. The warm sun felt so good on my skin. It’s going to cool off for a week or so, so I figured I’d make the best of the ability to sit outside in shorts. Going to Lazy Days restaurant in Marathon tonight for dinner. They just opened a second restaurant on Marathon. The original is on Islamorada but it’s kind of a long drive. They feature dishes with this Lazy Days sauce made with crème and key lime juice which is really good. So we’re looking forward to our meal tonight. And, it’s right on the water with beautiful sunset vistas. After that we’re going to the KOA. Howard Livingston and the MM24 band is playing there tonight. We’ll probably never get a table. Some people are heading over there at 5:00 just to get a table. He doesn’t start playing until 8:30. Hopefully we’ll be able to find a place to park. If not, we’ll go back and ride our bikes over there. Oh, and our Canadian friends, Esther and Gerald, arrived today. Will be fun to get together with them. And, as we reflect on 2009, we feel it’s been a pretty good year for us and we’re looking forward to 2010.

This cute little Victorian is over 100 years old! It features tumbled stone tile baths (not sure what that means, but they were beautiful). It has a tropical spa pool out back with lush landscaping and lots of privacy. There's also guest quarters upstairs with its own private entrance and features a living/bedroom area, beautiful bath, a small kitchen, and even a little deck. I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, but pictures wouldn't do this interior justice. The decorating and artwork was phenomenal.
