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!

I've been there briefly....made a stop for a day on a cruise! It's an adorable little town that I would have loved to have gotten to see more of. I did a whirlwind tour -- tried the chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick, went to Hemingway's house (which was also a cat sanctuary -- like Largo Argentina!!) and walked all around town. It's a raelly sweet little place and I would definitely love to go back!!
And yes I bought the cheesy "Southernmost tip of the US" souveniers...
I really pretty upset that you didn't bring me any pie! :)
I absolutely adore your site! You aggressive me as able-bodied as all the others actuality and your broiled is absolutely nice.
