Where to be & When to be there

As much as traveling can be fun it can also be overwhelming so we want to keep this as relaxed as possible. 

Most of you will arrive sometime throughout the day on Friday, get checked into you rooms, smell the sea water and relax... we can all catch up for Dinner! For those of you who are a bit more adventurous you may find some place you want to eat on your own... don't feel like you have to do everything that we are doing -well except for the ceremony you might not want to miss that!!

Here's the basics of what you can expect from the weekend:

FRIDAY: (MAY 15)

• Dinner at the Big Chill restaurant 7pm (the Tuna nachos are amazing!!!)

SATURDAY:(MAY 16)

• Deep Sea Fishing excursion (For the guys) if interested talk to Zach the boat leaves at 7am til noon
• Breakfast 9am - Ms Mac's (other places that you might like include Sharky's, Conch house, and Denny's)
• Ladies (& Gent's are welcomed too) pool day at the Holiday Inn (they have a wonderful pool and tiki bar)
• Locally there is a grocery store, Kmart, laundromat, Walgreens, and plenty of places to grab lunch.
• Also, there is a glass bottom boat, snorkeling excursions and scuba diving in the area.

We will be setting sail off of a private dock promptly at 6pm 

Once we sail out to sea, we will have the ceremony, followed by dinner and cocktails.

(yes the boat has bathrooms, no you don't have to dress up, but please put some clothes on as there will be pictures taken:))

• Feeling spunky once we get back to shore you might enjoy Sharky's Bar, Pilot House Grill, and Snooks Bayside grill

SUNDAY:(MAY 17)

WE'RE MARRIED!!!!

and we love that you were there to be apart of a moment that will last a lifetime now get over the fact that we aren't spending breakfast with you today !

By now you have a lay of the land or shall we say Island, so grab some grub, pack your bags and head to Key West!! (Don't forget it is a separate hotel booking) We will meet y'all for lunch at  one of Key West's finest food joints (Check back for an update as to which one)
