Southernmost Point
At this point, you're 90 miles from Cuba and 157 miles from the nearest Walmart -- which, for the mathematically-challenged, means you're closer to Cuba than to Walmart.
The southernmost house
A quick bit of science:
I saw on the History Channel that one of the contributing factors in the Florida Keys' creation was, ironically, an ice age.
Geologists believe that the weight of the ice on the northern part of our continental shelf was so great that it pushed the southern end up out of the water a little bit. That combined with receding shorelines due to glacier formations, and we have land-ho down south.

The Car
We flew from Atlanta to Miami, then rented a convertible to drive to Key West. This was all for Mel's 30th birthday, by the way. Oh, and don't ever drive in Miami.
Brad and Angie got involved with a scooter for a little while
Sunset Cruise
We took a sunset cruise/tour
Oprah has a house on that island

the drink boy... always popular
Go, Go, Go, Go Shawty, It's Ya Birthday
So funny. Mel's doing "Paint the house", and Angie's doing "Paint the fence" from Karate Kid.
Mel always has to mess with the band
