Visit The Keys And You Might Not Come Back!
I have been going to the Florida Keys since the late 1980’s when I had an overnight date, and my first rum runner along with a “floater” with my soon to be husband.
We listened to Jimmy Buffett before his song “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and did some offshore fishing!
We have loved introducing our daughters Kylie and Alle to one of our favorite vacation destinations to enjoy all the things we have, from fishing to sunsets to just chillin’ out and hanging with the fam.

That Florida Keys Feeling
I have never forgotten that feeling I had crossing over from Dade to Monroe County and felt a shift in myself…a calm came over me…it was the strangest thing and I just kept on coming back!

Why We Love the Florida Keys!
We love Key Largo and the Upper Keys with all our hearts.
It is a short drive for us from Boca Raton and a non-stop flight from many places to Key West, Miami International Airport, and Fort Lauderdale International if you don’t live locally.
I do believe the Florida Keys should be on every traveler’s bucket list for a variety of reasons including the beauty, peacefulness and history of that very special part of the world.
One great thing about Key Largo, for example, is you can daytrip there from Boca Raton!
Have lunch, swim with the dolphins, grab and early dinner and head home! I have many suggestions for restaurants that we like for you to choose from!
Just bring a backpack with a change of clothes, your bathing suit, cover up, towel, sunscreen and anything else you need for a quick daytrip and you are good to go!
Things to Do in the Florida Keys
From sport fishing, both offshore and back country, to snorkling, diving and just relaxing by a hotel pool there are many things to do.
I love exploring the art galleries, shops and of course spending time at one of the many wonderful waterfront restaurants in the Keys.
The daily fresh catch like mahi or snapper is always a great choice coupled with a Key Lime Martini or refreshing sweet tea.
Take a drive from Key Largo to Key West and stop along the way for lunch!
Feed the tarpon at Robbie’s and check out the Dolphin Research Center while you leisurely drive while enjoying the water views.
Fun Fact: You will enjoy Overseas Highway and the 42 bridges including the fabulous Seven Mile Bridge that links the Keys to each other and the mainland. Trust me on this one.
