Photo Essay: Florida Keys part 2 – Bridges, Boats, and Bars

Bridges, boats, and bars are perhaps my favorite parts of the Florida Keys.

The bars are just an added bonus.

Jet ski tour

Okay, not exactly a boat, but jet skis are pretty darn fun in the Keys. We took a tour around the island with Fury Watersports. I highly recommend.
