Key West

I had a conference in Key West that just happened to be the weekend before Tara's birthday. I was so excited she agreed to go with me and we stayed through the weekend to get in some good fun. We had a blast. As soon as my stuff was over on Friday, we got massages and rented bicycles to ride all over town.

We flew into Miami and drove the scenic view to Key West.

We ate at some amazing places, including Blue Heaven, where the cats and roosters roamed free. :)

We weren't sure about it but we visited the home of Ernest Hemingway home. It ended up being one of our favorite things of the whole trip. He was quite a character--especially the six toe cats and the cat cemetery. 

 This kitty didn't read the sign that you weren't supposed to be on the furniture.

And more roosters!

And of course the southernmost point. in the US.

Our hotel overlooked a museum with amazing statues. 

We attempted snorkeling. Well, I did for about five minutes and jumped back in the boat. Tara was determined to see the coral so she kept on going. We found out later that it was one of the roughest trips they had done and they almost called it. 

The What the Truck. 

No need to say where we met her.
