Key West

First stop on the honeymoon is Key West. We were trying to hit all three National Parks in Florida but our first, The Dry Tortugas is a no go, didn't buy tickets for the ferry far enough in advance, got up early to try to get on stand by but not early enough. We got up at 5am, the couple the ended up getting the only two available slots got up at 2am, woof. But hiked over to a state park with a beach which was nice.

The park has an old fort on the grounds.

There's a lot of stuff to do in Key West but most of it is inside, the only thing we did was go to the butterfly sanctuary, which was really moving and cool actually.

We walked by the Hemingway house and Truman's "Little White House" and got a lot of great take out but overall Key West just isn't our speed, tons of tourists, and most of the people here just pretend COVID doesn't exist. Not terrible, we had a nice relaxing couple days but without the Dry Tortugas there wasn't much for us to do. Key West is an odd place, part Bourbon Street part Vegas, very crowded and noisy, probably a great fit for some but not a great place for a nature lover who's not a diver.
