Day 5

We ate breakfast at the hotel figuring it would be easier than loading and unloading everyone in the car. Turns out, it was good and relatively cheap. What is it about places run by Yankees that want to nickel-and-dime you to death? Really? A charge for a coke refill?

We drove around South Beach. I was afraid we might see the more "wide-open" side of things as we drove around, but thankfully everything was pretty calm. I think everyone enjoyed the architecture we saw. We took a short detour onto Star Island. There's only so far you can go though (gated community). We also took a slight detour when the GPS tried to take us to Key Largo via US 1. Luckily I've made that mistake before, and knew to get on the Florida Turnpike.

We stopped at "THE Wendy's" in Florida City for a drink, and that turned into a snack. That turned into a Double Combo for me because they gave me the wrong order. We drove down to Key Largo to see Marine Lab. We drove through the neighborhood it's in and pulled into the facility, but that was it.

We drove back to Ft. Lauderdale and ate dinner at Primanti Bros. so everyone could try the Pittsburgher. A. Nookie wanted us to see the tunnel in Ft. Lauderdale and then we drove back to WPB. We drove around town for a little bit to see things at night.
