First Time in the Florida Keys and it was Paradise! SCUBA Diving and More

When the destination of Florida was tossed around for our family trip this year, admittedly, I had some serious hesitations. Normally, we try to go to some place that’s more of a “destination” or out of the country. But with the pandemic making international travel a bit more hectic and chaotic than what we were willing to risk, we decided on making the trip to the Florida Keys. As it turns out, the Florida Keys are so far from what I could have ever imagined being attached to our Sunshine State. The Florida Keys contain over 800 islands, but are most known for the main islands of Key West, the Lower Keys, Marathon, Islamorada, and Key Largo which span over 100 miles from end to end, primary connected by Highway 1. The Florida Keys feel like a completely different tropical country, even though the chain of islands is only an hour drive from Miami.
We stayed down at Key West and Islamorada, SCUBA Diving throughout the week. We drank all the amazing local beer and had plenty of seafood to last us until our next trip! The Florida Keys were amazing and we truly can't wait to get back there!
