Damn what a Place



Had not been to the Keys since 2008 when i did the 1000 miles on my Harley in 18 hrs

SO I took my kids for a week in Key West Awesome time was had. 78 degree water and mid 80s air with sunshine galore.







Sam being photobombed on the docks at the Westin where we stayed.

Its at the end of Green Street, one block off Duvall at the Mel Fisher Museum. I love me some pirates (Go ECU)

million worth of 23.2 k gold at the museum











My son tyler wanted to rent bikes so we got 4 for the stay and didnt use the SUV we rented much at all. old town is so fun.



Samantha wanted to.....





Parasail.... which is so damn cool... loved it so much ..... Dustin chose it as his activity too and we did again later in the week.







all my kids are huge now!!! at the end of the road







Handed the lady my 3100 nikon and told her to just push the button a little at first to focus.. then push harder to get the shot...







to which her reply was ..... Thats what he said! ha!!!



This was Lunch for 5 days this week. loved a few hours snorkeling and diving the beach and having State Served alcohol on the Beach FLA is a cool state..







I went through 4 tanks on 5 dives this week. 2 - 45minute under dives - 6 miles ofshore at a reef. and at Zack Taylor Beach shown here...







Dustin And Samantha snorkeling the rockpiles.. which had thousands of fish... including a Barracuda about 5 ft long .







Taught my oldest to breath Scuba equipment. He swam with me on the second dive for about 10 minutes underwater using My octo regulator. He is hooked now too.

Where was my invite for this shindig? Looks awesome...need to try out scuba sometime in this lifetime. Snorkeling is as much as I've done. Looks like the kids had a good time -- the older son is a seemingly spitting image of you huh?...poor kid. LOL j/k

No pics at the Southernmost Point?



I grew up in SoFL and never went to Key West. It wasn't till I went to school at FSU that I went for half a day on the way to Mexico. KW is a fun place.
