Narrative:

After departing key west and some multiple vectors we were told to turn 'direct carnu and contact miami center'after turning direct to carnu my first officer could see that it was taking us directly towards the weather balloon/restricted airspace; my view was temporarily blocked due to the window spar. After rolling out I could see it as well and concurred. We had the visual and were above the balloon. I immediately tried to contact miami center but the controller was very busy; at about the exact time my first officer initiated a turn to the right; we also got the egpws warning 'obstacle; obstacle; pull up.' we followed the egpws and initiated a turn. Right after imitating the climbing/turn I was able to contact miami center and told them what was going on. They turned us 20 degrees right; followed by an additional 10 degrees right. We immediately complied and returned to assigned altitude. We were assigned 9;000 ft and climbed to 9;500 ft to comply with the egpws warning. Key west departure should not turn us directly toward a restricted airspace.
