We saw a video about the building of the Flagler Railroad to Key West and someone in the movie said that people who come to the Keys get Key Fever. So many people come, fall in love with the area and never leave. We do not have a choice in this because we are Canadians and because we have children and grand children in Ontario.
I am going to upload photos and let them tell the story.

beautiful pics makes me want to head to the keys!
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is you can always go back again next year. It really is a gorgeous place.
ReplyDeleteI can see why...that rainbow is beautiful. Have never seen one so big. I did see two little ones at one time though! How neat to have a doggie beach. You guys look great!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy....
We just spent a week at Marathon. Loved, loved The Keys. I think most people who go there get hooked.
ReplyDeleteWe too enjoyed the Keys last fall to, but had a whole week of very windy, overcast weather. Still love the area every time we go back there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it while you can.
