Our first port of call was Key West. The ship docked early Wednesday morning, and we took advantage of all of our time there (got off the ship early and came back at the last minute). The first thing we did was to rent a scooter so that we could drive around the island at our own pace and see the sights. Here is some proof that I rode with Aaron...can you believe I did that?! I said I wouldn't ride on his motorcycle here in Va, and then I get on the back of a scooter with him in a place we had never been. Oh well, I was glad I did it, and I learned to trust him after only a few seconds of riding.
These pictures are out of order, but towards the end of our time in Key West, we stopped and tried some key lime pie (we figured out that they must be known for that down there, because we saw so many shops dedicated to just that one dessert...duh, Aaron and Lisa!). Aaron said it was probably the best he's ever tasted.
We spent most of the time just riding around and looking. It was fun for us!
This was our view from our lunch spot. We found a quiet outdoor cafe right beside the ocean...it was perfect. Beautiful scenery and great food. We saw an iguana just hanging out on the beach! Did you know that Aaron used to have a pet iguana in college?! haha
We enjoyed a quiet lunch together and asked the waiter lots of questions about the island.
We waited in a short line to take this picture...yes, we are the corny tourists!
Aaron was proud of his scooter skills :) Here we stopped to take a look at the beach, but realized that there wasn't much going on there, so we kept riding. The beaches are all man-made in Key West because it's just surrounded by coral and rocks. They bring in sand from Miami.
We had a relaxing morning there! We were only docked until about 1 p.m., but it was enough time to enjoy Key West.
