It's been a few days...
Hi! It's been a few days, so this will be a long post! We've been very busy having lots of fun fun fun!!
Alison flew in on Thursday, and Scott arrived in his super cool VW a few hours later.
Alison seemed to have brought the nice weather with her, from where who knows, but we're not complaining! It's been the nicest weather we've had so far.
We spent some time at Ft. Zach soaking up the sun!
And we've been to Mallory Square to see some of the performances.
Angel Statue
Fire Eater
George and Scott and an old wreck; near the Wrecker's Museum.
Duval Street: first stop is Shorties to pick up some beers for the walk.
George took us to the Hard Rock Cafe to admire their amazing collection of Rock and Roll paraphernalia.
To Alison's and my delight the second floor ladies room is haunted! Here we are in the haunted bathroom stall.
This room is in the haunted area, and some people feel a cold draft when you open this door to nowhere. We didn't feel anything.
George really liked these snake skin boots, worn by Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones in the late 60's. His new work boots?
Scott and Paul McCartney's guitar.
Scott, Heather and Alison in front of Led Zeppelin's display and David Bowie's red suit... or pajamas? No, I think that was his suit.
We had fun... even though we didn't see any ghosts.
These mannequins look familar.
Interesting knife holders; They call this The Ex.
A late night snack at Virgilios; a very nice bar.
Heh heh... funny stuff.
And another late night snack at the Bottle Cap.
Where they were having karaoke night!! Woohooo!!!
Heather singing Dr. Dre and Eminem's "Forgot About Dre"; it was a duet but I sang both parts. It was so much fun I had to do another!
My second song was Dynamite Hack's cover of Eazy E's "Boys in the Hood". The small crowd was very amused by a white chick attempting some gangsta rap... and I was GOOD!
Having a laugh before bed
Alison and I took a tour of the USS Mohawk this morning.
And we've spent the afternoon at Boca Chica trying to get photos of the fighter jets taking off. I'll get Scott's photos and post them soon.
This morning was also the Wounded Warrior Ride. A group of wounded veterans rode their bikes all the way from Miami. They rolled into Key West around 11:30, and it was a very inspiring reception.
The color guard standing ready.
Here come the riders!
National Anthem
