Looking for Kokomo!

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park,
Sing with us

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego,
baby why don't we go,
Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
there's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand,
tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo (by the Beach Boys)

We drove down to the keys today and finally found some sunshine and white sand beaches.  Check it out!

Laton leaning on a Spanish cannon on the beach. There is an actual authentic reconstruction of an early Spanish shipwreck about 100 feet offshore that can be viewed while snorkeling. This park is considered an underwater park.

On US Hwy 1

This lobster will take a lot of butter!

Key West, Florida

We Stopped at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, saw Ernest Hemmingway's Home, had dinner at the Keys Fisheries and saw a 3 foot Iguana crossing the Highway. It was all so amazing.  Very different than the area we are at right now.  More like what we thought Florida would be like.
