Travel with me to Key West, Florida!

I am finally getting around to posting about the Key West trip I recently went on with my girlfriend and her family! The main reasons for the trip were two-fold.

  1. It was Morgan's dad's 40th high school reunion.
  2. It was Morgan's parents anniversary

For some reason, they decided to take Morgan's parents decided to take their kids and Sevin along for the ride. I was pumped to be able to go on this trip as I have never been to Key West. My parents tell me that I have been to Key West since they claim I was conceived there, but I have never counted as being there!

The drive from Tallahassee to Key West is a solid 10-12 hours depending on what time you leave and how bad the traffic is along the way.

Here is the 6 foot shark Morgan's brother caught on 20 lb test, which is quite a feat. He fought the shark for nearly 45 minutes.

Another picture of Morgan and I with our favorite hats!

Probably the most touristy thing I did all week was go to the Southernmost Point of the Continental United States.

First night in Key West. Made it to Mallory Square just in time for a beautiful sunset!

All over the island there were hens and roosters everywhere! I have been a chicken lover for years and would take pictures whenever I could!

Morgan's great-grandfather, Bernie Papy, was a big reason that Key West is what it is today! We found him in the bust garden downtown.

Yes, it is always 5 o'clock somewhere!

While in Key West we lived on a boat! I did not get sunburned too badly except for the first day!

We found a conch shell, but could not keep it since there was a conch inside!

One of the best meals I have had in a long time was at Bliss in Key West! It just so happens that one of my sisters is named Bliss!

Don't believe me, check out our meal below:

As we passed by the Southernmost Point the first time, Morgan's dad ran into a buddy who sells coconut water so we had to pick one up!

Glad you did not eat that rooster. I would have had to protest. PS my rounds - you can ship wednesday or thursday - if not done already.
