Dave Matthews in Bloomington

Wow.. what a week. One of my favorite musicians was in Bloomington last night, Dave Matthews put on a concert with Tim Reynolds. Dave and Tim were out to raise voter awareness with College Students and put on a free show at Indiana University.

My wife and I went to the show and met up with my son and a few of his friends. It was an incredible show. A little disorganized at the beginning as it was a free show and general admission, so it was a little chaotic when they opened the doors. We ended up with some very good seats and saw an incredible show. Dave and Tim were awesome.

Here are a few photos I took with my iPhone, not the greatest but I forgot my camera and had to use the iPhone which has no flash nor zoom.

4 Hours for Key Lime Pie?

Yep, the wife and I drove down to the Florida Keys for some key lime pie and to visit our favorite spot on the east coast. We went to the Keys on our honeymoon and decided to drive down and eat dinner at our favorite restaurant in the Keys, The Fish House and let me tell you, it was worth the trip.

We haven’t been down to the keys for a long time and things are changing immensely. The old 2 lane highway (US 1) is fast becoming 4 lanes and the causeways and draw bridges are being converted to actual bridges. That’s not bad for traffic flow but it was always cool to wait for the draw bridge to go up and watch a big sailboat go under while relaxing in the hot Florida sun.

We had a great time traveling down to the Keys and it was worth it to drive 4 hours for dinner and key lime pie. The pie was so good we brought back an entire pie for the rest of the family. :)

Our trip is almost over so I’ll be back at the office on Monday if anyone needs anything.

Went Down to Siesta Key

We took a drive to the south yesterday to the number 2 ranked beach in Florida (South Beach in Miami is number 1) Siesta Key and all I can say is Wow. It is a beautiful area and an area I could buy a house and spend some serious time there. It’s just south of Sarasota which is a very interesting city and has some incredible neighborhoods on the coast. We were on the beach in Siesta for less than 10 minutes and spotted two bottlenose dolphins about 20 yds from the shore.

So far we’ve seen Dolphins, Manatee and about every water bird known to man but we haven’t seen any sea turtles yet, that’s our goal now. :)

Some more photos from Siesta Key.
