It was chilly in Key West for our first two days. Still very nice compared to our frigid New York winter.
We toured the Hemingway home and museum, and I took the photo of the lighthouse from the second floor porch.
I will miss our evening dips in the pool ;o)
Sunsets in Key West are celebrated every evening.
I loved the homes and their architecture.
Each morning, we were awakened at 6:15 a.m. by this guy. They are everywhere in Key West. It wasn't a huge issue since we were in paradise.
We were lucky as the majority of the week was sunshine and 80. As soon as I get caught up from being away, I'll be back to blogging ;o)
Thank you for stopping by!

Welcome

Blogging has introduced me to a wonderful community of peers, and we learn so much from one another. I'm a New York girl decorating with MacKenzie-Childs one season at a time! I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the Adirondack Mountains (thus Mountain Breaths). I live in Upstate NY with my supportive husband and have three adult sons.

Wow - what a gorgeous sunset (and couple!) - Anywhere warm sounds good to me right now!! Love your rooster friend - I have heard about them in Key West! Glad you had a good week
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable couple you and Joe make! I loved seeing the celebration of sunsets and the beauty of Key West! What time did your visitor wake you up?? When we were in Mexico one time, peacocks were our visitors!! I'm so glad you shared some pics of your trip with us. xo
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are having a wonderful vacation . . . eat a slice on Key-Lime pie for me :)

ReplyDeleteI'm checking the pics out again and see that you put the time the rooster woke you! That just gave you more time to enjoy the outdoors. Your pics are postcard worthy and are making me long for the beach.
ReplyDeleteI know I already commented, but I had to come back and revisit these fabulous photos of warmth and sunshine. A blizzard is moving into the area, and I need this!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photos, Debbie! What a wonderful time away. I wish we had more 80s while we were away ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun. It is good Joe didn't lose his school vacation. Most of the districts on L I had to go to school to make up Sandy and snow days. My gkids did, they were supposed to go away skiing, but they went to school instead.
ReplyDeleteYour Getaway looks heavenly. Relaxing time at a beautiful destination. The architecture is so pretty. Gotta love that rooster.....

I love the keys! I was just talking to my hubs about heading down there - but hopefully, the roosters will let me sleep in!
ReplyDeleteKelly
OMGosh, I took the same photo from the same spot at Hemmingway's home when we were there. Our son and DIL were married in Key West several years ago. It looks like you had a great time. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely those shots were - I bet you enjoyed every minute.
