Key West
Last year's stop in Key West during our cruise really left us wanting to go back. Nearly a year later, we were able to cash in some airline miles and hotel points to help make this trip possible. In December of this year, we'll be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. So in many ways, this trip was like extending part of our honeymoon from 10 years ago. Scott was kind of sick then and we didn't know much about the island. We had a little more time on this trip since we flew in. As for spending time together as a couple, we both agreed this was our best vacation yet. That's got us thinking about when we can get back to Key West again -- hopefully very soon!

I'm guessing this setup can be used for marriage ceremonies at the house.

Meeting the legendary Captain Tony -- certainly a highlight of the trip!

Captain Tony signed this photo of himself with Jimmy Buffett in Detroit for us. The Captain turns 90 in August of this year.

While he is no longer mayor and his body is becoming frail, I was impressed with how sharp his mind seemed to be.
