Two Tuesday's ago Matt booked a trip for just the two of us to Ft. Lauderdale, so we could go to the Florida Keys! We left that next Friday and came back on Tues. night! It was the most fun trip, except for the food poisoning I got our first night in the Keys, but besides that it was amazing! It was so nice to be away and the weather was perfect, so warm, but not hot! We had a fabulous time and did everything we wanted to do! I hope we can go back some day! I don't know how to publish more than 5 pictures at a time and none of these are in any order, but here are some of our favorite things we did!
Matt and I went on a glass-bottom boat tour out to the coral reef about 6 miles south of the keys! We are at the very front of the boat! While on the boat at the reef we saw a shark, stingray and Matt saw a sea turtle, which I didn't see! =( We also were able to see the sunset, which is a HUGE thing in Key West!
This is me on Bahia Honda State Park's beach! It was beautiful and so peaceful! Matt and I couldn't get over the color of the water! It is that color because no where in the keys has water more than 17 feet deep!
My favorite thing we did was go sea Kayaking! It was just the 2 of us and Marcus, our tour guide! It was incredible! We didn't see too much fish and such, but we did see some crabs and a ton Queen counch, I think it was called. They are endangered, so we couldn't take any with us, but it was cool to see them! Marcus taught a lot about the Key's careful ecosystem and the importance of the coral, mangroves and sponges, etc and how they all play into each other to keep the islands healthy! The Key we kayaked to and around was No Name Key, which just had 50 homes on it and NO water, sewer or electricity, although it did have phone and cable/internet lines! The picture of just me is in a mangrove creek! Super cool!
None of these pictures are in order! But our first day in Key West we decided the best way to see the Key was to bike it! Biking is HUGE in Key West and everywhere in the Key's actually! Super affordable and very fun! So we rode our bikes around for about 4 hours that day... ALL around the Key! It was so fun! I loved biking right next to the ocean! This was Matt's favorite thing we did!
