The sign says it all.
Last picture for 2016! This is the South Coaling Dock Ruins at Dry Tortugas National Park. I could not get over the colors in the water! 2016, you've been fun, but I cannot wait for 2017!! I have a feeling the new year is going to bring a lot of adventures!
Life is just more colorful in the Florida Keys!
Every sunset is cause for celebration at Mallory Square in Key West, Florida.  From the buskers to the live music to the parade of people and boats along the waterfront, it's a party you don't want to miss.
