Valentine's Day - Florida Style

Our first Valentine's Day as a married couple was a success. It's hard not to make it a success when you have such resources as the Florida Keys next door. I'll admit I was actually a little nervous as February 14th approached because I didn't have a plan. I tried to remember what we did last year and then I finally realized we both worked that night and then probably just watched a movie.

We packed up a lunch and headed to Marathon Key, about half way down the keys. There is a little, family friendly and sandy beach there. The water temp right now is around 72 or 73, not bad for February. That is about as warm as it gets in California.

Our battery light came on while we were on the drive down so we didn't get as many pictures as we would have liked. We turned the camera off and saved a few pictures for the sunset.

It made a nice resting spot for all of the birds

All of the travel brochures said that the Keys have the best sunset in the world. It turns out that their sunset is similar to the one I've seen in California, Hawaii, South Africa and anywhere else the sun sets over the water.
