Tom & Ali's Florida Trip Video-Chapter 4-Key West-Hard Rock Cafe (& the friend we made while eating there)-Crabby Dick's-7 Mile Bridge-(& more pics.):

So here's the fourth installment of the video of our Florida trip. As the title states, this part of the video is footage from our time spent in Key West, mostly of us at Hard Rock Cafe (& of the friend we made while eating there-pretty funny but kind of mean) & of us having lunch at Crabby Dick's (both are on Duval Street). Then, there is a quick blip of us driving north up the coast back to Miami (specifically while on Seven Mile Bridge, or not). Another special thanks to Peter for all his help with editing this video, he did a spectacular job (he edits videos for his real job too, so he's really good)! Also, we put some more picturesque photos of Key West and some of its points of interest that we found online below the video for your viewing pleasure. So, here you go and enjoy! =-)

Be sure to pause the music at the bottom of the blog before starting the video.




Pictures of Key West and some of its points of interest:


Another shot of Duval Street (the calmer end)



The home of Ernest Hemmingway, one of the popular tourist attractions in Key West



A shot of another pretty beach in Key West


Another cool shot of a ship at sunset. We ate at the cafe on the waterfront seen in this picture at sunset and it was a gorgeous view. Tons of sail boats and ships went floating by as we ate. Also, there were several street performers entertaining the crowds (such as a guy juggling an assortment of flaming objects). So, the waterfront is definitely a cool place to go hang out & eat at around sunset if you're ever down there.

So does this mean you are done torturing us? I actually looked up plane ticked to Key West after seeing all these pictures on your blog. It is so pretty and it looks like you guys had tons of fun!

Yeah, thanks it was really beautiful and fun down there. We would definitely suggest making the trip to anyone, especially to Key West. Miami was pretty cool, but much more crowded & commercial & just not as pretty & laid-back as Key West. And the beaches & water up in Miami are not as clean & nice either. But, we honestly wouldn't have ever been able to go if it weren't for the fact that our plane tickets were free except for tax (due to that Dockers promotion we got lucky enough to find out about) & Ali getting the employee rate on all of the hotels we stayed in. We also finagled an awesome corporate discount on our rental car through Tom's company. So, we just got extremely lucky.

Oh, and no on the being done torturing you question. We still have 1 or 2 more segments of our trip video to post, which are of the Miami part of our trip. Sorry. =-)
