First Stop: Key West & the Butterfly Conservatory





Nasty weather in the northern US was slowly pushing its way south the week before our trip. Biloxi had been much colder than usual and so had New Orleans with temps in the 30Fs and 40Fs. We left port feeling very, very chilly and very, very hopeful things were warmer in the caribbean! We were very happy to wake up in Key West, FL with temps in the 60Fs and the high in the low 80Fs! It was perfect weather. We rode a trolley all around town and learned all about Key West's history and famous residents. We hopped off at the Butterfly Conservatory and got to see some very amazing butterflies and birds. The photos don't do the exhibit justice. The butterflies were flitting and flying all over the place. I was very glad we made a stop here.
