Key West: A Great Weekend Getaway!

Truman Hotel

There are so many great weekend get-aways in Florida.  I took a quick trip to Key West this weekend for a historic tour.  Most bed and breakfasts require a two night stay, but the lovely and updated Truman Hotel, two blocks from Duval Street, did not. 

 
We watched the sunset, did the tourist Conch Train Tour, ate a couple of really nice meals (dinner at Pisces was particularly delicious) did some shopping (really cute towels and gifts at Towels of Key West) and enjoyed the trip both there and back.
 
Next time I go down, I am going to focus on the water activities!  We really are lucky to live in South Florida.
