Key West

Today Mary and I drove to Key West. It was a rather long drive - over 4 hours - from the Doral, but well worth it! Our first stop was the southernmost point of the US, after which we ate lunch at the southernmost restaurant before shopping at the southernmost gift shop (have you caught a theme yet??) We had a great Key West lunch, Margaritas, Coconut Shrimp and Key Lime pie! Yum!!
After that we drove around Key West for a while, saw the Hemmingway House and Truman's Little White House. The west end of Key West was crowded and very alive with people! And this was on a Friday afternoon in the off season.
After seeing the sights we headed for Smather's Beach for some sun and relaxation. This was a nice quiet beach, but we were quite surprised to have two weddings conducted just a few feet from us! Then we remembered if was 11-11-11 and a lot of people are getting married today. After an hour or so on the beach we headed back east and got back to out motel for the night 3 hours later.
It was a very nice and enjoyable day to see Key West.
