Brrr… Even Key West is shivering this week! 🥶🌴

Hey Reader,

Can you believe it? Even Key West has been feeling the chill lately. And over here in Orlando, I woke up to wind chills below 30°F. I know that’s nothing compared to up north, but still... this girl wasn’t ready! At least there are still palm trees in my view, so I’m calling it a win. 🌴☀️

It may be cold... but there are palm trees and blue skies!

Thanks so much for all your amazing binge-watch suggestions—we’ve been checking them out while the youngest recovers from knee surgery (he’s slowly getting more mobile... fingers crossed!). Meanwhile, I’ve been keeping warm with some good stories and even better convos.

Here’s what we were up to this week:

🍍 Monday – We dug into the very cool history of West Martello. Did you know it’s one of three Civil War–era forts still standing in Key West? Check out [the blog post here] for the video, podcast, and all the behind-the-scenes scoop.

🐾 We also had an awesome chat with Zak from Salty Paws Charters. Sunset cruises, sandbar hopping, and now… a $100 discount just for you! Use the code from the blog post [linked here] to book directly. (If you book through my link—thank you! It helps support all the fun we bring your way.)

🎉 Last Week’s Trivia Answer:
Congrats to everyone who guessed Island City House as the oldest operating guest house in Key West. That was a tough one—but Carmen M. nailed it and took home January’s Fun in Key West Box! 🎁

🌎 This Week’s Trivia Question:
Which country was the first to claim Key West as part of its territory?
(Think waaay back in time for this one!)

Until next time — stay warm, dream of sunshine, and keep the Key West vibes close.
You never know when your next island escape might happen…
