The sign says it all.
Last picture for 2016! This is the South Coaling Dock Ruins at Dry Tortugas National Park. I could not get over the colors in the water! 2016, you've been fun, but I cannot wait for 2017!! I have a feeling the new year is going to bring a lot of adventures!
Life is just more colorful in the Florida Keys!

Taco Tuesday with trivia and live music at the Tiki Bar was a lot of fun. The room could use some updates and coffee in room would have been nice. Otherwise the beds were comfy and staff was friendly. Location was great for proximity to some nice parks and wildlife spotting.
