The Florida Keys Weekend Trip

3 Days in the Keys and Everglades

I was surprised to find out that I had a three-day weekend, so I decided to make the best of it. From my home in Tampa, I headed south, all the way to Key West, and then into the Everglades before returning home. You might want to add another day, and slow the pace a bit.
