Travel Lust: Key West

It's still cold. There's still snow. I need to escape to somewhere warm.

At least in my mind!

 

Ahh.... Key West. The southernmost  point in the United States. I can feel the sand in my toes already.

Who could resist this 5 square miles of palm trees and white sand beaches? I love the bright- colored buildings that you find in cities by the beach. It adds so much charm!

Wouldn't it be lovely to rent a cute beach cruiser and explore the island? 

 

And with all that bike riding I could eat more of this:

Bad news though- the Blond Giraffe, the winners of Best Key Lime Pie eight years in a row, is no longer in business. Now I'll never be able to try their famous pie on a stick! 

I don't think I'd be able to resist taking a boat out for a spin. As a passenger, that is.

 And of course, I would have to stop buy the house Ernest Hemingway resided in when he lived on the island. Have to add in a little culture- can't be a complete beach bum!

Most of all, I would like to just park my tush in the sand and watch this every night:

Ahh.... What an unbelievable view.

Ever been to Key West? Let me know about you trip!
