Relaxation in Key West
Have you ever just wanted to escape everything around you? Do you feels levels of stress increasing and frustration only continuing to develop? If this is the case you may just need a weekend away from most people and a relaxing environment.
After a ZBT Alumni Reception in Miami on Friday night, I felt the need to go away. I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. Karina, Erica, and Sa were having the same thoughts. We decided it was time to do something adventurous and go to Key West. In a matter of moments we packed our bags. We weren’t going to be staying in a hotel, we decided to go camping.
We brought air mattresses, purchased a tent, and packed a cooler. Sa had found the place online and decided it was a great choice. We wanted something on the water. We got the keys at around 10:30pm. The security guy at the gate was really creepy and asking us weird questions, but we eventually got in. If you have ever set up a tent before you probably have experienced some challenges as always. On top of those challenges add pitch black sky with minimal lighting.
We eventually got it set up. We considered out camping experience as high class camping because we had our laptops, our phones, air mattresses, and more. We cooked bbq ribs, corn, and baked potatoes. We roasted marshmallows and made smores on the dock of the ocean. It was so relaxing. We took a ride along the ocean and got some ice cream at Dairy Queen. When we left this morning after cooking eggs, hash, and bagels I felt refreshed.
Oh, and then Karina decides I needed to go for a swim… :0
