Day 4 - Cedar Keys

 Saturday took us to a fishing town on the Gulf side of Florida.

We explored this swampy little place where a good share of the houses were built on stilts.

Miles of board walk over swamp.

 For lunch we went to an eatery on the water 

 

and tasted an array of sea food.

 

the Shrimp was heavenly, the clams...chewy.

Dr. Jeff attempting to get a sliver out with a drinking straw...FAIL.

Somebody is hoping for a handout.

Our catch of the day.
The big one got away :)

 Back home.

 Some people snoozed.

Amy taste-testing her yummy peanut butter frosting

While others (just Amy) prepped for Sunday dinner.
