sailing with my Stanley man #Stanleyness
Any outdoor adventure in our household includes our favorite Stanley products. When we were planning our Key West weekend getaway, snorkeling and sailing were at the top of our list. And without a doubt, our Stanley tumblers and growler came in handy.
We began our weekend adventures by visiting Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. The water at this beach is a beautiful ombré of blues. You don't have to swim far to be surrounded by beautiful, glimmering fish. It can be a little overwhelming if you haven't gone snorkeling before as the fish literally follow you and swim next to you. I wish I hadn't forgotten our water camera to share this wonderful experience with you. Next time.
We also visited Smathers Beach. This beach is a lot more sandy than the State Park beach, but the water isn't as clear. The water is still very calm and perfect for paddle boarding or taking some fun inflatables for the kids.
For the beach and snorkeling, my essentials were the Stanley growler and steel tumblers, a fun inflatable for the kids and me, hat, sunnies, striped towels {always}, and I always take a new magazine or a book. We kept cold water in the Stanley growler and it did its job by keeping the liquids cold for up to 24 hours. I was really impressed since our beach bag sat in the hot sun most of the day. And when in the sun, it's always a good idea to have fresh, cold water easily accessible.
We also went sailing. My first time ever. It was so relaxing and breathtaking I know it won't be the last. I filled up the Stanley growler with margaritas because when in Key West, right? We caught that beautiful and cloudy sunset you see above. It was such a gorgeous and unforgettable night.
I'll be sharing more photos of our trip later this week. But for now, this is it.
