Key West Vacations - from parasailing to snorkeling to shopping to Key Lime Pie, a Kid Friendly Vacation Spot |
 |
Our family vacation visit to Key West Florida was just day trip stopover while on one of our family cruises, but we have many an adventure to share.
Key West is in the state of Florida, but quite a drive from the mainland of the United States (154 miles from Miami - about 3.5 hours). Key West is a small Island - with an area of 5.9 Square miles, but packed with history and fun family things to do.
Among all of the fun things to on Key West Vacations, we found the following to try on our short stay in the City.....
Parasailing
We chose Fury Water Adventures for our Parasailing adventure. Fury Water Adventures offers Glass Bottom Boat tours, Parasailing tours, and snorkeling tours.
No one in our family had ever been parasailing, and one of my daughters really wanted to give it a try.... so willing to try the adventure, I also decided to give it a whirl. I really thought that it was going to be a "thrill" type ride where I was clinging for dear life and screaming - it was exciting, but a nice smooth ride.... we really enjoyed it!
Shopping and Strolling along Duvall Street
Duval Street is bustling with shops, restaurants, and bars.... Of course, being in Key West, one of the things that we were looking for was Key Lime Pie, and we found it at the Blond Giraffe. The pie is served with either whipped cream or meringue. We chose the whipped cream.... the pie was great! As a little token tourism, I also like to visit Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville - while there, we tried one of the local favorites - conch fritters..... pretty good!
