Girls Lobsterfest Getaway
Each year we head south to the Florida Keys for the popular Lobster mini-season. The first day involved waking up at 4:00 a.m., heading to your lobster hole and waiting for the sun to come up. Then it is time to “tickle” your way to catching Florida’s spiny lobster (no claws) and getting your six per person limit. Sounds crazy, but it is a lot of fun!
