Adventure Date: 06/07/2023 – 06/11/2023
It’s been a long time since I last posted about an adventure! Where were we off to this time? Southern Florida! Specifically Key West and Fort Lauderdale areas.
We spent a couple of nights in Key West and then a couple of nights in Hollywood! (The one in Florida.) Our past adventures have had us on the move constantly so we decided that we should really relax and not try to do too much, so Florida it was!
First up, Key West! We landed in Miami and drove a rental car down to Key West, making some stops along the way. We stayed at the Pier House Resort and Spa which had its own private beach, but the best part of all was its location.
Located at the end of Duval Street, we had plenty of options for food and entertainment. The vibe of Key West definitely reminded me of Hawaii. Most of the locals that we met seemed very laid back and life also seemed to move slower down there.
Some of the things we did while in Key West included…
- Hop on, hop off bus trolley tour of Key West.
- Watching the sunset on Sunset Pier and Mallory Square.
- Grabbing a slice of key lime pie at Key Lime Pie Bakery.
- Visiting Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park and the beach area.
- Picture with and of the Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A. buoy!
- Walking out on the Edward B. Knight Pier.
- Visiting The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory.
- Visiting the Key West Aquarium.
- Visiting the Key West Shipwreck Museum.
- Feeding tarpons!
