Here are some of the photos of the fireworks from tonight in Key West. We didn’t go over to Smathers Beach but it was MUCH more fun to watch the fireworks from a friends dock on the water! If you ever have the chance to watch fireworks over looking the ocean it is awesome! Next year …. maybe I will see them from a plane!
When I booked my flight to Chicago the first thing I checked was to see if the Cubs were playing at home while I was there. They were and so I called one of my best friends who still lives there and we planned a whole day of it. When I used to live in Chicago and I was a very broke college student I would look online and find tickets for $2 and $4 and 
go to the games after I got off work. I can say I have spent a lot of time at that park when the Cubs … for a lack of better words sucked. But I still went and cheered them on. Something about that park and that team has always made me feel at home. As you can see from the photo above the storm clouds were rolling in and 3 rain delays later we won the game and it was a day that I will never forget! This could be the year … I know we say that every year but there was an awesome feeling in the air! I am also a fan that rain or shine I will be sitting there with my beer in hand and happy to watch as long as they are playing! But as you can see the weather didn’t know what the heck it was trying to do and the sun was out enough to make my glasses transition into sunglasses. I’m happy I was able to see the Cubs win this year and who knows … I might be back in August when Scott and I have to make our cross country journey!
Scott and I have been a fan of the show Bloodline since it came out last year. Mainly because it was filmed here in the Keys and we get to test our knowledge of US1 since we have made countless trips up and down the Keys over the years. It’s also a very interesting story about a family that has some of the same problems you do and then just a few more! We were on our way home from Miami and I was reading about some of the places that the show was filmed and we decided to stop and have lunch at one of the locations. Alabama Jack’s is where a scene from season 1 was filmed with Danny eating their famous fish tacos. If you ask anyone in the upper keys they will tell you “Oh Yeah! I have been there 100 times and its great!” Well I 
had never heard of it before reading about it and I am happy we stopped. The food was great and the view was even better! We sat over looking the water and had a good view up and down the canal. Our waitress told us they have a local crocodile that they see a few times a week. Its also a local hangout for the manatees that my husband thinks don’t exist and refers to them as the unicorns of the sea. We LOVE chicken wings and seem to order them everywhere we go just to give them a try. These were really good but just so you know when you order hot …. they mean HOT! It was really spicy. I also ordered the fish tacos and they were delightful!
