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! Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park. Dry Tortugas is west of Key West and you can only visit by private plans or the Yankee Freedom III ferry. The fort is spectacular & the water is stunning.

Yes, this really is just a mile marker sign. just like all of the others you pass on the side of the road, except, mile Marker 0 represents the end of the line. It is the furthest south you can get from the lower 48 continental states, and still be in the USA. It's the end of Highway One, which starts way up in Maine, 2,337 miles away. It's an iconic sign for key west. Mentioned in Hemingway novels, jimmy buffet songs, and is the end of the line for many tourists. Arguably the best place to sit and watch the sunset in Key West--situated right next to the Mallory Square daily sunset celebration as well. #WeekendGetaway Enjoying a beautiful #sunset from Mallory Square #KeyWest #Florida, #USA #goldenhour #FL #gulfcoast #floridakeys Some of the cool knick knacks you can find in Key West. #localgem #roadtrip Nation's only at sea national park Picture from the harbour waiting to go to the Dry Tortugas National Park 68 miles west from the Key West We met these fellow Canadians while exploring the butterfly conservatory.
