2011, and Ina, Chuck, Mario and I go to Key West for 3 nights, staying at the lovely hotel called Weatherstation Inn. We start, of course, at Louie's Backyard, a wonderful restaurant. Then the next day we take the Conch Train ride around all of Key West, so the guys can see the whole, adorable, charming town. That second evening we take a sunset cruise on a sailboat, with wine tasting! The next day Ina and I go to the Butterfly Museum, Mario bikes around everywhere, Chuck goes to the Truman and Hemingway museums. Off to famous Mallory Square for the sunset and the various acts, one being the "Banjo Man" and his dog. Mario gave the dog a dollar to put into the Banjo Man's bucket. Dinner at Bagatelle. Quite wonderful.
The guys returned to DC, whereas Ina and I went to Adobe Photoshop World 2011 in Orlando. Crowds of photographers and a wonderful learning experience for sure. See the Opening, in which Scott Kelby and his pals wow us with models, competitions, loads of laughs, and alot of manic energy! Fun! We had a terrific view out of the Rosen Center 17th floor, so several pictures of Orlando's convention center. Oh, and dinner at Capitol Grille, in which our friend, Eric Johnson, who works there, treated us like queens! Wonderful. Have fun! All best,
Joan
