Florida Keys ?

[Zandy595]

We've lived in FL for 14 years and have never been to the Keys. We're thinking about taking a trip down there this summer. It would be DH38, Me38, and DS13. What are the "must sees" in the Keys, please?

Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo, definitely. That's where the reef is, offshore.

Isn't there a great place for snorkeling with kids?

The Dry Tortugas state park/Fort Jefferson is AMAZING! You have to take a two hour (or so) boat ride to get there, but it is soo worth it!

If your son is into history at all, it's a very unique history lesson. The Fort was used as a prison, Dr. Mudd (who set John Wilkes Booth's broken leg) was sent there.

Also, for bird watchers, there's a bird refuge on an island that's part of the Tortugas.

Key deer
Key West Sandle company, Key West Aloe, Key West Aquarium. Key West is neat in general.

Key West!

I think the drive down to Key West is the best must see. It's beautiful scenery, going over bridges with unbelievable water views on both sides.
