Our Vacation to Key West, Florida
Ranked #1,875 in Travel & Places, #66,303 overall | Donates to Sisters of the Holy Family
A Tropical Paradise and a Great Time!
I live in Florida and have visited a lot of places here over the last 20 years. We visited Key West several years back. I just found our photos from our old camera. Unfortunately, this camera used a floppy disc so some of the pics will not open. The ones that did are on this page.
Key West is beautiful! And a really unique place to visit! From history and ghosts to the amazing sunsets. Fort Taylor beach has powdery white sand and crystal clear water for snorkeling. In Key West the night life is hoppin! View photo's and details on my visit below.

- I'm leaving in 3 short days for a 6 week vacation in Key West. I used to care for my 95 year old Mom (who died Feb 15, 2012) and Key West is my go-top place to renew myself. Taking 2 dogs, some bathing suits and that's about it! Great lens.
