First full week of 2026—how’s it treating you?
|
Hey Reader, Well, we’ve officially made it through the first week-ish of January—and 2026 is already off to a busy start! How’s your year going? Hopefully it’s filled with strong coffee, sunshine, and maybe a daydream or two about palm trees. I’m back in the swing of things (finally!) and we covered a lot of great stuff this week—so here’s your quick recap: 🐠 MondayWe dove into the fascinating history of the Key West Aquarium—did you know it was the first open-air aquarium in the U.S.? Built during the Great Depression as a WPA project! You can check out the blog post and the video to see what makes it such a cool stop. 🍤 TuesdayLet’s talk views and vibes… it was all about the best waterfront restaurants in Key West. Did your go-to spot make the list? I’d love to hear what your fave is! 📅 WednesdayWe rounded up everything happening in January in Key West—from festivals to fun little island happenings. If you’re planning a visit (or just dreaming from afar), don’t miss this one! 🍹 ThursdayWe wrapped up the week with a chat about Boathouse Happy Hour (yes, please!) and a look back at the historic building it calls home. A little sip of sunshine and a dash of Key West history? Count me in. 📚 Mark Your Calendar!
