Some beach time, Spring style

Our family, minus Max, went to our favorite beach for spring break. The weather was warmer and sunnier than predicted, which was great except I packed for cooler weather. The water was and always is too cold to swim in March, but some brave souls do. We think they are people who don't get to come to the beach as often as we do. We also saw and heard at least one mated pair of Osprey. We had a regular cocktail hour complete with hor d'oeuvres. Often we would hear and see the Osprey near sunset. They are amazing birds. I was fascinated about them and dreamed of them, thought of them and looked for them long after we returned home. We enjoyed the Blue Angels flying over in practice, but it was hard to get photos. We comforted ourselves in the fact that we have decades of Blue Angels photos. William spent time with friends, as did we. During a card game one night our cat, Zeus, decided to help us play. We've had this motorhome about a year and the dogs and cats love the dash. It's huge and flat and they can view their domain from there.

Flounder's Chowder and Ale House

With Margaritaville radio streaming through the open restaurant, this is often another family favorite. Not because the food is phenomenal. It's good, it's reliable as are the drinks. The weekly drink specials are GREAT. The volleyball scenery varies and can be incredible as can the live music, but eating in the section of the restaurant that is open to the Sound is really why we go. We hopped over for an early and indulgent bite tonight. Two Patron margarita's later we had dinner, were stuffed, but some how I said "yes!" to Key lime pie. I love key limes. And here comes the waiter with this THREE LAYER pie. It's freaking THREE pies stacked on top of each other. They must cut it into 4 pieces per pie and call it done. Four previously stuffed people managed to make a sizeable dent in that pie. Don't think Max did most of it (though he did) he was just the one opposite the camera.
