Destination: The Southernmost Tip

So this past Thursday me and two sisters Natalie and Lisa had planned to make a 30 mile bike ride to Marathon since we all had a day we could do it together. We left early in the morning in order to beat the Florida heat, and I brought my IDR tshirt with me in order to take a picture feeding the giant tarpon at Robbies.

So the trip was going great, and it was such a beautiful morning for a bike ride.

So beautiful in fact, and our feet were feeling so light, that while conquering the upcoming bridge in this picture it occurred to us that we wanted to try and ride the rest of the way to Key West.

(lunch time!)

My sister had been planning a trip to Key West for a little while, over a two-day period of time. This became a sort of spontaneous, self-initiated marathon, that none of us had trained for... ! Not being the Keys native I once was, the 'couple' extra miles in the blazing heat were definitely threatening to knock me off my bike the last 20 miles...

(almost there!!)

But we made it, and even if my mom was the only fan waiting for us at the end, we all definitely felt like stars for making it all the way through.

It was a beautiful journey to the southernmost tip of the continental US;
an event of which i was proud to say
been there
done that
brought the t-shirt.
