First of all, Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband! So thankful for him and for the years we have already spent together. Looking forward to many, many more!
Jay has been to Key West before but it was years ago when he was in high school, but I had never been. I heard it was beautiful and couldn't wait to see it!
Sunrise....
Waiting to get off of the ship....
Key West is such a neat town. We had planned to just rent mopeds that day instead of doing an excursion but decided to do a train tour so that we would know what we were looking at. The town has so much history and although I don't remember a lot of it, it was very interesting.
The presidential gate....they only open it for U.S. Presidents when they come to town. It has only been open for 22 that have come to Key West.
Their houses are beautiful and so unique.
It is very common to see the porch roofs painted blue....
This is the local Elementary school and today was their last day of school for the year.
We drove past the beach on our tour although we didn't get to enjoy it.
The landscape and plants in Key West are just amazing! So beautiful!
Ernest Hemingway's home...
A bar that was opened in 1890 and still running....
Highway 1 that begins and ends in Key West and goes all the way up to Maine!
My favorite part of Key West was getting to go to the Southernmost Point in the United States. Of course we had to wait the line out and take our picture there!
This guy was making bowls and hats out of these leaves....so neat!
We walked down to the harbor and at lunch at the Conch Republic Seafood Company...Jay had to get his seafood in since I can't eat it.
Interesting tree....
Our tour guide was telling us that this house was the most recent sold in Key West for the pocket change amount of only SIX MILLION...yikes!
Headed back to the ship...
We docked at the Naval Station and got to see the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard didn't play around. As we were coming in to port and leaving, they rode next to us all the way in and out armed with machine guns. Glad they were there to protect our country!
For our anniversary evening, instead of doing the dinner/show thing, we changed our minds at the last minute and decided to just get comfy, eat pizza and spend some time together on our favorite Serenity deck. It was just what the doctor ordered.
Happy 9th anniversary to the love of my life! I love you babe to the moon and back!
