We drove through "Indian Territory" on the way down and actually stopped outside this village with the anti-Bush sign out front to change Avery's diaper. We moved along pretty quickly before they could see our Air Force car sticker and shoot us with poison darts...hehe.
Finally in Key West! Getting ready to leave on the Yankee Freedom boat for Dry Tortugas National Park, about a 2 hr boat ride from downtown.
Rachel and Avery all ready to go!
Up before the sun!
Isaiah looking too chipper for 7am...
The babies were actually really good and slept most of the way to and from the park/fort.
Amanda and I trying not to get blown off the boat.
Dry Tortugas!
Avery listening quietly during the tour (playing pattycake).
Miss Rachel on the beach!
Avery wasn't too impressed with the beach and decided to spend his time sleeping in the stroller.
Cute sandals (and matching outfit) from Kelsey! Covered in turtles...for Dry Tortugas!
Not so sure about the water...def. didn't like the waves!
Cool dude! All ready to go shopping downtown!
Octopus souvenir...I got one for both Avery and Rachel, and they loved them!
Roosters everywhere! They got up earlier than Avery most mornings. Ugh.
We visited a shipwreck museum...pretty neat.
Holding hands...uh oh. : )
Next stop was a butterfly conservatory...
Avery really seemed to like looking around at all the butterflies and birds. See the video at the end.
One landed on Avery's hat. Too bad he wasn't still wearing it!
My favorite! I'm sure he'll be mad at me for this one down the road...
Family picture at the southernmost point in the continental US...I promise Avery is somewhere under that hat!
Outside Ernest Hemingway's home...we didn't go in but did see some of the famous 6 toed cats wondering around outside!
All worn out from a long day of sightseeing!
Group picture!
We ventured to another key to eat lunch and play putt putt...which was pretty interesting with the babies in tow. See the video at the end!
Using our kid sun dome at Fort Zachary Taylor beach...the same Zachary Taylor that we have a cemetery named after in Louisville, KY.
Of course, our binkie had to come along, too!
Outside the Audubon house.
Key West Toy Factory- such a cool store! Too bad Avery slept the whole time. Phil and I had a good time playing around there though. : )
This is Kermit. He owns a keylime shop in Key West. They have keylime everything! The sugar cookies were fantastic, and Avery loved his green hat. Kermit said they could trade.
Fun at the pool! Avery liked this much better than the ocean...just like his momma.
Beach bum. :)
On our way home... We had a great time!
