After lunch in Key West, we headed up to Key Largo using the Guide Along app again as our guide. I had booked a snorkel excursion the next day to see the Christ of the Abyss statue in John Pennekamp park. Unfortunately, the swells were too big so we went to a different spot Grecian Rocks Reef.
We stopped in Islamorada on the way up. Guide Along spoke a lot about Hemingway and how he loved sport fishing and his boat the Pilar. We stopped at the Bass Pro Shop in Islamorada to see the boat. We decided to have dinner there at Islamorada Fish Company. There were lots of tarpon hanging there. The atmosphere was good with a live music, but the food was pretty average. Afterwards we got ice cream at a cute little spot.
The next morning was our snorkel excursion with Sundiver. They didn’t tell us we weren’t going to Christ of the Abyss which was disappointing. But the snorkeling was pretty good. The reef was in good condition and we saw sea fans. We saw a barracuda, a Florida lobster and several fish. They had noodles for everyone to use which was nice, but no guide. They all stayed on the boat.

After the snorkel trip we went back to Playa Largo Resort and just relaxed. We loved the resort. Not sure if it was because it was a weekday, but it wasn’t too crowded and they had a nice sunset celebration. There were lots of iguanas.
The next day we drove up to Miami and went to a Rays v Marlins game. It was great! We sat near 1st base and the kids got several balls and a few autographs. And the Rays won! We stayed at the Marriott Biscayne Bay and it had nice views.
