Cedar Key

So, come about Wednesday of our Panama City vacation, Kim and I decided that we needed to extend our break as much as we could...We couldn't think of any place that we'd rather go to than Cedar Key! It is one of our VERY favorite Florida spots! We took our time and drove the back way, which is absolutely gorgeous, following the Gulf coastline through the panhandle and along the western coast. The three of us arrived just in time for dinner at Dock Street Depot. Cedar Key has the best home-grown clams anywhere (although ALL of the seafood is terrific there!!!) Michael loved the patio seating and the gulf breeze. He DIDN'T like the lemon :)

After dinner we strolled through a couple of shops, caught a great sunset, and headed over to the historic Island Hotel for desert. Kim had the tiramisu and I had a great coffee cordial. Michael loves all of the attention that seems to follow him wherever we go. He flirted and talked to the waitress as well as anyone else that would listen! Afterwards, we stopped into the Raw Bar to get a little take out for the hotel, as we waited, we listened to the band, Michael smiled and swayed to the classic rock, but by the end of the first song...OUT!!! Slept through 4 or 5 songs, the drunk guy in the corner suggested that Michael must've had too much too drink already :)

A lazy stroll through town and on the pier along with another incredible lunch rounded out our "bonus day" of vacation. Kim and I haven't been this relaxed in quite a long time! It was truly a wonderful week and, already, we cannot wait for our next Cedar Key adventure.
