The Dry Tortugas



Although I can't fathom why in the world the US would have a huge fort built out in the middle of the ocean, it is quite the structure to see. I guess it provided intimidation during the war so ships wouldn't go near and be deterred in their routes. The fort was amazing and it's supposed to be great snorkeling, but we were actually kind of disappointed with the snorkeling. Maybe it was a bad day, or we are just too spoiled having seen alot of ocean. Anyway our last tourist trip in Key West was well worth it, even though the Dubois and i got seasick on the 2 hour boat ride way out there.

We still haven't made it out there yet... but after 3 years of living next door to it, we did finally go to Fort Zach.
