Eats on the journey to the Keys included a cheese quesadilla with tabouleh from home, a Publix turkey sub with all the veggies and an apple.

I also split another half of a sub with Ryan a little later on.
After we arrived and explored the property where we’re staying, we headed up to our room to celebrate my sister’s birthday.
Birthday Cake
Birthday Girl
We enjoyed homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese icing while my sister opened all of her presents.
Slice o' Cake
I probably had four times the amount of cake pictured above. The cake was sitting right in front of me during the present opening, and I’m not one to resist fluffy cake and creamy icing located within arms reach.
Now it’s time for bed! We’re waking up at dawn tomorrow morning to get a jump start on a day full of scuba diving. Woohoo for vacation! 😀
