Skippers Dockside Restaurant, Key Largo, Florida

Wow, I still can’t believe we rode our bikes to Key West. Of course, we tried to find good or great restaurants along the way. I am relentless when it comes to finding good restaurants.

I feel it’s gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away

With every tomorrow comes another life
