Going to Key West in June - What Should I See?

[BeakersTrio]

My cousin is having a destination wedding in Key West next June. We will be out there for about a week. What is there to see that I can't miss?

I think there may be a thread on this, but here are some things to point you in the right direction:

Truman Annex-walk around and look at the beautiful Key West style homes. Visit Harry S. Truman's Little White House (http://www.trumanlittlewhitehouse.com/)
The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum (http://www.hemingwayhome.com/)
Definitely a sunset at Mallory Square (http://www.sunsetcelebration.org/)-this is a celebration! You can't go to Key West and NOT do this.
Key Lime pie (http://www.blondgiraffe.com/). Some of the posters have referred to something about it being dipped in chocolate. Haven't had this, but whatever you do, have some Key Lime Pie!
Kelly's Key West (http://www.kellyskeywest.com/)-the one on Whitehead Street not Duval Street. Sit outside under the banyan trees and enjoy the weather, food and the little lights.
Sloppy Joe's (http://www.sloppyjoes.com/)! A Key West staple!
Hogs Breath Saloon (http://www.hogsbreath.com/)
Fort Zachary Taylor (http://www.forttaylor.org)
Shopping, eating, people watching on Duval Street (http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/). This is the main street in Key West.
If you can, take a day tour out to the Dry Tortugas (http://www.nps.gov/drto/) and snorkel, stay on the boat, admire the scenery, whatever-but do it if you can-just beautiful! (And lots of turtles-which is "tortugas" in Spanish. ;) )
If you are into lighthouses-The Key West Lighthouse (http://www.kwahs.com/lighthouse.htm)
And OF COURSE, you have to compete with the other tourists to get your picture taken at the Southernmost Point (http://www.keywest.com/attractions/southernmostpoint.htm)! LOL I call the thing "the bullet."
If you want to do some partying-Rick's on Duval (http://ricksdurtyharrys.com/)
There are also some pretty good ghost tours (http://www.hauntedtours.com/)!
Cafe' Marquesa for dinner (http://www.marquesa.com/cafe.htm)
Blue Heaven (http://blueheavenkw.homestead.com/Blue_Heaven_Restaurant_Key_West.html) for dinner.
Louie's Backyard (http://www.louiesbackyard.com/) for dinner.

This should get you started! Have fun. Key West is AWESOME! :) :cool:

You are so welcome. And if that is your basset hound I have to tell you I am sooo jealous! I used to have one in college. I love bassets!
