Sunrise at Three Waters Resort
Spent a weekend in the Keys, Islamorada to be specific. The views were amazing and the sunrises were even more spectacular.

Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada
Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada has long been a favorite destination. I visited when it opened on summer 2015 at the site of the former Hampton Inn (and Outback Steakhouse) at Mile Marker 80.

Shelling in Key West
I was staying at the Sunset Key Cottages and went for a beach walk on their private beach each evening. I found my first keeper – a green sea urchin (empty of course).

Shello, shellers!
Hi. Here’s a quick intro. My name is Jill and I’m a seashell freak. I love them. I especially love to hunt for them on the beaches of Southwest Florida (or anywhere for that matter).
