Spring Break '08

This being my senior year, I had my last spring break last week. It was definitely the best one so far. I finally went somewhere awesome with all of my friends ~ Key West, FL. We drove the 16 hour trip in one night, stayed for six nights and then drove back. The trip down was miserable but the beautiful water and exciting nightlife made it completely worth it. Before we went everyone told us that Key West lacks a proper beach so we should probably hang out by the pool everyday. They were so wrong! Smathers Beach is small but amazing. The water was clear blue and very calm. Of course I wouldn't recommend this spot for family vacations at least not at this time of the year because it was packed with spring breakers. During the day, Duval St was a great place to shop and eat and always interesting with the occassional rooster or cat running through. At night, it reminded me of New Orleans with it's late-night bars and drinking in the middle of the streets. While we were there we spent all day on the beach and all afternoon/night on Duval St. I would drive the entire 16 hour trip there and back for one more night.
