Galel and Em's Florida Adventure



So when we found out that our good friend Ben was getting married in Florida, we decided that if we were going to be able to go, that we might as well make a trip out of it. Because who knows if will ever go again! The wedding was in Jacksonville..so that was going to be the last leg of our trip. We started out in Miami. Although the beaches there were quite dirty, overall we enjoyed ourselves there. We ate at a delectable Cuban restaurant that had been recommended to us, it was called Versailles. If you ever get a chance to go to Miami, try it out. The ambiance was nothing to write home about, but the food was absolutely delicious. We also sat next to a guy with probably the most annoying laugh you have ever heard in your entire life. I will see if I can post the sound clip. Next we traveled to Key West. The drive alone was worth the trip. Minus the 7 mile bridge over water...not a huge fan. We only had time to stay one night, but it was a fun-filled day and a half. We stayed in a very cute bed and breakfast and spent most of the first day exploring the island. At night we went to the street fair and were quite amused. The sunset was breathtaking. We had a very nice dinner and...of course..key lime pie for dessert (Galel's favorite). The next day we visited the graveyard there (sounds exciting, I know) which was actually very amusing. Some of the gravestones said some pretty funny things. We headed back to Miami to stay the night and then we were on our way to Ponte Vedra Beach. We stayes at the TPC at Sawgrass Marriott. We got to visit the golf course, and to Galel's excitement, sneak on the 17th green. The beaches there were amazing, way different from the beaches here in California. The wedding was very close to our hotel, and was also a blast. What a great trip!
