No matter how you like to spend a day, Key West is theperfect place to get away from it all (especially in the winter). Just watch out for iguanas.
You canât go to the Keys and not try a slice of Key lime pie. Every restaurant has its own twist on this classic, but Iâm partial to the one at Blue Heaven topped with sky-high layers of meringue.
Key West was discovered in the 1500s, so itâs got a long, spooky history. Learn about its past with a ghost tour on a trolley â and say hello to Robert the Doll.
