Florida Trip

Fla last Thursday thru Monday, checked out a lot of places of which was Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain's "Rock n Roll Ribs". Maiden flight 666 was on the dvd as me and my sister munched on fall off the bone baby backs and what has become the best pulled pork sandwich I ever had. Place had several pieces of memorabilia that were quite interesting.

Spent some time in the seminole casino for a donation amongst the dance of the dead. Mental note, don't live in fla when I'm retired.

Visited former Dolphin Bob Brudzinski's "Brus Room" grill and bar for a few. Good place to watch a game

Off to Key West on Friday morning. Finally got to see real blue water like on TV, which was cool . Then we hit Duval Street and the famous Sloppy Joes. Smelled like a mixture of puke, beer and Jaegermeister.

Had some beers and raw bar at a place called Jacks Seafood House. Off to the Marriott Key West for a night stay and dinner at the #1 rated restaurant on Key West, ToWN & Tavern...good stuff, but I could have done without the guitar player up my ass while I ate.








Headed back to the mainland saturday morning and had lunch at this outdoor fish warehouse on Islamorada Key. Pretty nice outdoor seafood bar .




All in all, good visit and adventure, ending up in a tornado warning. I live in Ohio all my life and it takes a trip to florida to be in one. We made it but it was a little scary. Touched down in pompano , close by.
