We did not stay at a campground in Key West but spent some time seeing the sights there.
We took our bikes for an easy way to get around. It definitely beat trying to park the truck everywhere and I would do it again, but the bicycles were a little challenging with the kids and all of the other cars, pedestrians and bikes . It was a very busy place!
We visited Florida Eco-Discovery Center, which was free. They had some interesting exhibits on the ecology of the Keys' habitats and a coral reef and tropical fish aquarium.
Next door to that was Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. There is a gorgeous beach there, where we had lunch and enjoyed the scenery.

After lunch, we all climbed across a long, rocky outcropping to get a better view of the beach and water.
Then, we visited the fort. It was a little interesting, but I really need a tour guide to tell me what I should know. :)
Later, on our bike ride, we came across this octopus/squid. Such a cute idea for a tree stump! That idea might come in handy if the drought continues in Austin!
And we found mile marker 0 on Highway 1. We hope to find the other end later this year when we are in Maine.
At evening time, we watched the sunset on Smathers Beach (along with several weddings).
Key West was a fun place and had some beautiful beaches. We would definitely like to come back to see the other things we missed by not having stayed and spent more time in the area.
