Collins Trip to key West

In February 2004, we flew to Miami and drove to Key West. Here are a few pictures:

Here is the family at the marker for the southernmost point in the continental US

We rented motor scooters, and had a blast

Here I am standing next to a life size statue of the tallest
man to ever live - Robert Wadlow

We found some great stuffed grouper at the Flying Monkey on Duval Blvd

Mel Fischer has a store and museum where the treasure
from the Atocha, and other ship wrecks are displayed. Mel
died in 1988, but his legend lives on.

Here Stephanie is wearing a $140,000 gold necklace which
Mel removed from the Atocha

We took time to get in a little deep sea fishing. Austin is shown
here demonstrating the correct fishing position.

Stephanie caught a nice barracuda

I caught an even nicer one. The guide tried hard to talk me into
having it stuffed, but I released him instead. At last glance, he
was doing fine.

This is the zero mile marker

This is the roadway that was blown up in Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie - True Lies.
Lucky for us they repaired this roadway before we got there.
