Key West

I whisked Ken away for a long weekend to Key West for his birthday last weekend. All he knew was that we were going somewhere warm until we landed in Miami and I told him we were headed to the Keys! It was so beautiful there and the weather was perfect! It had been college since either of us had been there too! We went to Zachary Taylor Park on Saturday and hung out at the little beach there then it was a day trip to Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson. I even managed to not get seasick (much!) during the 2 and 1/2 hour trip out there. The snorkeling there was AMAZING with so many different fish and coral. The last day we did some sightseeing around the city including the Southernmost Point and the Lighthouse museum.

A view of Fort Jefferson and the South Pilings (remains of an old dock) where we snorkeled and saw lots of cool fish

Sightseeing on the Conch Train

Of course there were lots of calls to the grandparents back home to check on Joe. It was weird without him....like missing an arm or something! Fortunately though, the grandparents managed to keep little Joe fed, watered, and bathed without major incident. Heehee! They all had a good time and so did we but we were happy to be back with him on Monday
