Samantha’s Trip to Key West!

Kevin Cooper • September 27, 2016

As an avid beach lover, you know Key West is at the top of my list when it comes to ocean destinations! While the weather can be hot and humid, it was pleasant during my stay. I got to relax, unwind, and rejuvenate on the warm, sandy beaches of Key West! This trip was tons of fun.

If you know me at all, you know how much I love shaved ice! This delightful little shop offered the perfect, refreshing treat for my friend Joyce and I to enjoy on our trip.

I absolutely could NOT resist taking a rest in this gorgeous, hand-carved throne! I felt this meme was perfect for the occasion. Don’t you agree?

YUM! These giant cookies were a welcome treat. Who could resist?

Our trip was full of fun evenings like the one pictured above. The tiki torches really give off the tropical vibe we love!



I hope you guys enjoyed this sneak peek of some of the best moments of my trip. I absolutely loved traveling to Key West, and suggest you visit if you’re considering making a trip to Florida!
