Key West
Our first trip to Key West was in the early 90's. This is actually our 3rd trip. The biggest difference from our first trip to now is the cruise ships. Cruise ships now arrive every day and let off thousands of passengers. The cruise ships have made Key West a different place. I am glad I went to Key West before the cruise ships decided to stop in Key West.
Even with the cruise ships, Key West is a magical place. The drive from Miami to Key West is amazing....turquoise water, lots of bridges (including one which is 7 miles long). Once you get to Key West, you find a quaint little town with some beautiful architecture.
One thing that has improved since our first trip is the condition of the Southern Most House. The first time we were in Key West, the house was falling apart. From looking at this dilapidated home, you could tell it was once glorious. We bought a water color print of the home which now hangs above our bed at home. Luckily the artist was able to create a vision of what the house should have looked like. Now the house has been restored to its former glory.
The pictures posted include the restored Southern Most House restored to its original pink and turquoise glory. I have also include a picture of our historic lodging at the light house....and of course a sunset photo.
