Family Day Trip to Beautiful Key West

ByZach Dobson July 2, 2021July 2, 2021

While visiting the Florida Keys, we decided to visit Key West for a day. It sounds a bit odd to take a day trip to a location that is nearly 1400 miles from home. But as hotel rooms were limited (and therefore EXTREMELY expensive), we thought a day trip to Key West from nearby Islamorada sounded like a good option.

Since we had been there before in 2018, we already knew all the spots we wanted to see again. And it turned out that 9 hours was enough time to visit them all.

Here are some other posts from our travels around the Florida Keys.

Seeing the peace and serenity of McCormick’s Creek State Park, it’s easy to see how this became the first state park in Indiana, founded in 1916. The spot was never destined to be harnessed commercially for its natural resources. Early efforts to build a sawmill and a quarry did not yield the hoped for results….

ByZach Dobson June 12, 2023May 20, 2024

The Indianapolis 500 is a month-long celebration during the month of May in Indiana. This year I photographed two different perspectives on the festivities. First, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum hired me to photograph their Hall of Fame dinner two days before the race. It was an evening of racing legends, stories and a celebration…

Beautiful Wildlife on Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park

ByZach Dobson May 6, 2021May 6, 2021

After a year of staying near home and only visiting state parks, I had forgotten just how large national parks are. Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park was a great way to reacclimate to hiking with young kids in an expansive environment. Anhinga Trail is less than a mile round trip and there were plenty…

National Donut Day

ByZach Dobson June 7, 2019June 7, 2019

Today while standing in line to buy donuts at Titus Bakery, I found out it is National Donut Day. It’s not just another Hallmark holiday; it’s a reason to indulge in our unofficial national breakfast treat (as if you need one other than “deliciousness”). So sit back and let me paint (photograph) a picture for…
