Chris and I spent 10 days in Florida this July on vacation.  Our first destination was Key West.  One of the fun things we did there was taking a sea plane out to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas.

The flight out was about 35 minutes, and we had about 2 1/2 hours to spend exploring the old fort and snorkeling around the island.  While in Key West, we also visited with our friends Rick & Susan, as well as did some diving.  We had a pleasant stay at Duval Gardens.

After Key West, we drove up to Palm Beach to visit friends and Palm City to visit family.

Chris and I did some more diving off Palm Beach, on the Breakers reef.  The reef was as lively as ever: on one of the dives we saw three decent sized turtles, 12 lobster, several moray eels, and a wide variety of fish.

A highlight of the trip was catching up with an old friend that I hadn't seen in 25 years!  Mike and I spent much of our childhood living on boats on the Peruvian Docks in Palm Beach.  It was great to see Mike and his family again.
