Historic Downtown - Richmond, KY

Daniel Boone's Wilderness Trail - Kingsport, TN

We spent a morning in Kingsport, Tennessee perusing some of the sites along the beginning of Daniel Boone's Wilderness Trail.

Alongside the South Fork of the Holston River, you can see a Flat Boat, an integral means of transporting goods in the late 1700's.

Across the street, you have the historic Netherland Inn, first built as a salt yard, but eventually repurposed into a tavern and inn.

Behind the Netherland Inn, you have several preserved log structures, including Daniel Boone's Cabin and The Old Schoolhouse, 

Quintessential Conch Republic - Key West, FL

Our last walk around downtown Key West before heading back to the mainland, and eventually working our way back home...

Just a few random sights and sounds of shops, stores, bars, and other tidbits...

There are a lot of people out there who think Key West might not be appropriate for kids. And granted, there are a lot of bar photos in the collection below, but really, Key West is a great place for families and there are a lot of things to do in the area that will create fantastic memories for your kids.

If you take a minute just to scan through a few posts here on Trips 'n Toys, you'll see a few ideas from which to choose.

Beaches, forts, and aquariums; treasure and shipwreck museums; quaint shops, open air markets and street vendors; historic homes and lighthouses; boat and watercraft rentals; historic cemeteries, military memorials and monuments; and don't forget The Conch Train, The Southernmost Point and Mallory Square and the Sunset Celebration!

You'll even find an animal rehabilitation center, a butterfly garden, six-toed cats, and roosters!

The USCSG Ingham... The Eco-Discovery Center...

And wildlife galore!
