Key West... Our Honeymoon

Here's a little back story... Greg and I went down to Key West in August of 2006. We planned on hanging out, enjoying some local flare and doing some sight seeing. Well, Greg had other plans. He was going to propose! All was going according to his master plan when we both realized a hurricane was headed directly for Key West. We headed back to our hotel where the concierge kindly asked us to evacuate. This didn't look good for Greg, but he threw caution to the wind and in the midst of packing up our things, got down on one knee and popped the question! It wasn't the romantic, sunset, beach proposal he was hoping for, but it was absolutely perfect in my eyes! After we wiped the joyful tears away and re-gained our composure, we packed up the car and made the 6 hour drive up the coast to Siesta Key, our sanctuary.

Needless to say, it seemed only fitting to head back to Key West for our honeymoon and pick up where we had left off.




We stayed at the Sunset Key Resort. It is located off the coast of Key West and the only way of arriving there is by boat. Here is the dock we pulled into.

A six toed cat from Ernest Hemingway's house/museum. It's been said the cats that roam the grounds today are the descendants from the original six toed cat brought to the house by Ernest himself.



The cat graveyard... notice the names!

Another view... yes, those are Greg's toes!

Here we are with our "stogies!"


Some R & R...

... and this is why it is called "Sunset Key."

Beautiful!!!
