Southernmost Adventures (2018 List items #15, #18, Bonus Item #104)

I’ve fallen way behind on my list write ups - I guess I better try to catch up! This one is from March 2018 - Brian and I visited Key West over a year ago (#15 on my 2018 list). Fun fact, Key West is the Southernmost point in the continental US. It was a much needed warm weather getaway.

While in Key West, we took it easy and enjoyed island cocktails, ate our weight in fishies and shrimpies, chilled by the ocean, kayaked through the mangroves, watched the cruise ships roll in and out, and chuckled at the free range chickens and roosters crossing the roads. We even checked the box on a few other items from my 2018 list, including a visit to a butterfly garden (#18), and a visit to the Hemingway House to hang with the Polydactyl cats (bonus #104). All in all, Key West offered us a a relaxing and enjoyable little vacay.

Brian and I are both cat lovers, so it was a lovely day at the Hemingway House, enriching ourselves in a slice of American Literary History, and the polydactyl descendants of Hemingway’s house.

Not only did we frolic amongst the butterflies at the butterfly house,, but we made friends with this fine pair of flouncing flamingos, Rhett and Scarlett.
