Closer to CUBA than a Walmart!

Seriously, over 90 miles to the nearest Walmart . . . that doesn't happen very often when you live in NWA! We had some "work" to do in Key West - we had to get some things checked off our vacation checklist!  Here is our southernmost point pic . .  not perfect - but better than last time!  It's kind of stressful - there's a line, you have the stranger in line behind you take the pic, you get flustered, feel like you have to be quick because others are waiting . . . but here it is!

The Pirate Museum was first on the boys list, but sadly it's not there anymore!  So, they settled for the Ripley's Believe it or Not.  I heard they had fun . . . I went shopping:)!  I heard lots of cool stories about the cool stuff in there - I however, LOVE my new Key West earrings I splurged on -- all were happy!

The Key West Aquarium was a favorite last time and this time!  We had a two day pass and completely got our moneys worth!  It's very hands on and the boys LOVED it and learned alot!

 Yes, that is Kerry on the Conch Train, check!  We all ended up riding it -- Kyler, Evan and I got off at the first stop and headed back to the resort for some swimming and lounging while Kerry and Jayden finished it up.

 They went up to the top of the lighthouse.

 We explored the streets and restaurants of Key West each evening.

 This was the boys favorite street performer - he is playing the drums on buckets . . the boys are pretty good tippers, too!  This guy recognized us on our second night to stop and watch:)

Key West was great!  But, it's time to hop back up to the mainland . . . and have some more fun along the way!
