Florida - Day 3 and 4

When we got up Saturday morning we opened the window and enjoyed the sunrise over the water from the view out of our room:

After we got up we headed first to the Hollywood, FL dog park.  Kylie loved the little kiddie pool they have for the dogs!  She loved lounging in it:

Then we headed to the Everglades for a fan-boat tour

 

 

 

We spotted two alligators

 

After the boat tour Colleen got to pet an armadillo

We then headed out to the beach in Hollywood to enjoy the remainder of the daylight.

 

On Sunday we woke up and headed out towards the Keys.  The water color was so beautiful, greenish-blue.

When we got to Key West we took our picture at the southern-most point buoy

(although Jim noticed on a technicality that there is a small portion of the island farther south than this buoy a little to the west.)

We also stopped by the most southern hotel although there were two more hotels farther south than this one!  There was one even called the "Southern-most Southern-most Hotel", all trying to one-up each other

We then took Kylie to a dog beach 3 blocks away and let her run around and splash around

 

We had lunch at a dog-friendly Mexican restaurant. Kylie looked like quite the vacationing dog with the Corona next to her on the table

We stopped by Earnest Hemingway's house, but notice Kylie isn't looking....

It's because of all the roosters on the island!  There were everywhere and Kylie was so fixated on them

We saw the very southern end of US Route 1 in Key West at Mile Marker zero (It goes all the way to the northern tip of Maine at the border of Canada)
















On our drive back across the Keys we stopped at a state park beach for one last look at the ocean.  We let Kylie back out in the water

We watched the scenery as the sun began to set

We head back tomorrow morning, we had a fun trip!
