We traveled I75 and luck was with us as we had perfect driving weather all the way...we did hit snow flurries in Kentucky into Tennessee but that is all they were, no accumulation at all!
As some of you may know I forgot my camera at home so I used my son's for a few shots...when I remembered, or something caught my eye...I wasn't into taking photos for some reason???
This sunset is in Georgia...
This shot is rather blurry I know but it shows how little traffic there was in Atlanta...we always drive right through the city, generally cars are bumper to bumper but it was Saturday evening and we were rather surprised at the lack of vehicles!
This is a great shot visually, icicles hanging from the side of blasted rock in Kentucky!
We took a very short trip down to Key West and the next two are photos taken from the van as we were driving...what a beautiful trip that is...all those bridges, the water, the islands. So much to look at along the way!
This is looking down Duval Street, in Key West...what a busy street...shops of all kinds from typical touristy shops to exclusive Artisan shops & everything in between!
My son & his wife during our dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, on Duval Street!
Another shot of Duval Street...
This is the southern most point of Key West...90 miles to Cuba from there. It was raining but very warm, which is why the folks are wearing coats...at least I think that is why...I was told by a local last summer was the hottest he could remember and this winter was the coldest he could remember...was great for us though, it was mid 20'sc,
I've a few more photos I'll post another day...
Cheers
Beautiful scenery my friend.

ReplyDeleteThanks Arlette...the scenery is the reason we drive...if the weather cooperates, which it did, it is a great drive!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Diane, we did a great deal in the time we were away...but then can't miss a thing...this kind of trip isn't a relaxing kind...after this I need a week to recuperate!!! :0)
We had a wonderful time Pearl...while it is nice to be home, I have to say, honestly I could live there!!!
Thanks for stopping by ladies...

Hello Dawn...thanks...the icicles are acutally gorgeous in person...my photo doesn't do them justice!!! The beauty of driving is we see everything from cold/snow, to warm sunny tropical weather, in a very short time frame...fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Triz...Key West is the best...truly...I was there in 1989 and never forgot it...I'm so happy we got to visit again!!! I can tell you it won't take me so long to return!

Looks like you had a fab time, glad you enjoyed it and the weather was fine.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather , glad you had a great trip, I live just over the mountains from I 75 in TN as you go past Maryville. I bet the Keys were wonderful! I have been a bit absent as I tried to rip my knee off in the middle of February and just now getting back to normal, an unexpected fall at 6 in the Morning . but all is much better and hope for a complete recovery. glad to see you again !!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures...love them all. Going to show this post to my DH. He lived in Key West for quite a while and I know he'll enjoy the pics.
