Key West Butterfly Conservatory

It’s extremely tough to pull yourself away from island time once you’ve had a taste. Key West, FL did just that and then some.

There are tons of activities to enjoy on the island depending on your mood and adventure level. These are in no particular order and this list is more of a brain dump than anything… you can rent wave runners, swim, scuba dive, tan, lounge, eat wonderfully, watch the sunset, explore the downtown art scene, party, shop, kite surf, build sandcastles, take sandcastle building lessons, sleep in, drink from coconuts, eat the inner carpel from said coconut, dance in the rain, or lay on the beach, get pampered and drink cocktails all day.

Yeah, Key West is that awesome. 🙂

Feel Like a Kid Again Chasing Butterflies

Key West also has a butterfly conservatory that will make you feel like a kid again. I chased butterflies for at least an hour and left with a free cardboard sticker cutout of a Blue Morpho butterfly on my shoulder. The elusive Blue Morpho is difficult to catch with its wings spread wide, but if you do get lucky, that beautiful blue shimmers and glitters like you have never seen. It is a great color for an import tuner car if I ever owned one.

I happened to stumble upon this aerial view of a butterfly and was drinking in the view; it was the iPhone to the rescue to capture this shot… This phone/camera combo is super handy in a pinch in case you were wondering.
