Anniversary Trip: Florida Keys

To celebrate our Anniversary, Susan and I took a trip to Florida. We left Tuesday night and arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday morning. We picked up a car and headed south. It took almost four hours to reach Key West.

Our hotel was on the west side of the island and a nearby rooster crowed for most of the night, but it had a free shuttle downtown. We looked around Duval Street a bit and had dinner at the Hard Rock. This was the seventh Hard Rock Cafe at which we had eaten.  

We were hoping to take a seaplane down to Dry Tortugas National Park Thursday morning, but it was cancelled due to weather. Instead we spent some time in the visitor center inside the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center, then headed north.

We stopped in Key Largo for the night, and enjoyed a late lunch/early dinner of fish tacos on the patio of a restaurant on a marina near our hotel.
