J.K.'s 2nd x blog 2012

For the last two weeks I was in the Keys.  The Keys are in southern Florida.  In the Keys I fished, got SCUBA certified, snorkeled, tasted hot sauce, and ate a GIANT cookie and ice cream.
I tasted hot sauce at a place in Key West called Peppers.  At Peppers they had the hottest hot sauce in the world.  It costs about $2,000 and if the bottle breaks you have to call hazmat, that’s what they said at least.  It can also leave 3rd degree burns, or at least that’s what they said.  They also said that it can kill you if you don’t train for it, or if you eat too much.  You also have to sign a waiver to say that if you die from the tiniest little taste it’s not their fault and basically they had nothing to do with it because you basically signed a paper so they could kind of in a way kill you. 
Also in Key West I went to a place called Kermits. 
This is where I had the GIANT cookies and ice cream.  The cookie was as big as my face, literally!!  The ice cream was not as big as the cookie but they were both very VERY good!!  It only took me about two minutes from the time I got them to the time I was finished.  While in Kermits, we tasted the various samples.  There were samples of jelly beans, key lime cookies, and salsa, yes salsa, at an everything key lime store.  I wish I could have eaten the whole time but I had better fish to fry.
The better fish was in SCUBA.  SCUBA stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.  My dad used to certify others just like Greg and J.B. did for us.  >=?{[]))))).  J.B. and Greg were awesome.  Sure the things my dad taught me were a little out dated but they were still useful and helpful.
In conclusion, I had a very wonderful time down in the keys.

    1. Happy President's Day weekend, Josh,
      I think you are headed for the Everglades now so you'll read this when you get back. Hope you all kept away from the alligators! I'll be anxious to hear about your next adventure. Congrats on you SCUBA certification. It will be a thrill for you to dive with your dad and maybe the Ruby boys.
      Lots of love,

      Mamama
