We decided to go back to Key West to do some more exploring on the special day that was 1/1/11. I never got to write down the date that day so I decided to do it here- fun! We had lunch across the street from where Ernest Hemingway used to hang out. The people watching in K.W. was incredible. We loved it. Our favorite was a group of college kids who were still obviously hung-over/ drunk from their NYE festivities singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEW YEAR! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEW YEAR! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR NEW YEAR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 2011!" They were REALLY singing. They were so proud of themselves.
We did a little shopping. Jackson almost died when the ladies at Coach brought out this HUGE shopping bag for my purchase (a new carry-on duffel bag). He held it up next to this kid to show that he could fit in it. Classic. :)
We didn't go into the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory, but Jackson sure does look cute posing in front of it.
This is where the drag queen drops inside the shoe at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. Key West is full of surprises like that. ;)
I had always wanted to see the Southernmost Point marker. As you can see to the right of the pole, there was a LINE to take a photo with it. I don't do lines.
I was able to get a photo of it QUICKLY before additional tourists made their way up from the front of the line!
At the very end of the island there was a military base. I thought it would be a nice place to be stationed if you were enlisted.
Roosters and chickens roamed the island like little citizens. It was really odd to see them just hanging out around the island.
We spent a little time at the beach on the island. It was so nice and warm. We really enjoyed seeing Key West and the rest of the Keys. I am definitely a fan of the warmer weather for our holiday vacation. :)
