Bubba's

What a great sunset at the Cloister tonight!

And then a fabulous dinner at Bubba Garcia's -- three cheers for three layer grilled shrimp tostada!!

After dinner we had an intense euchre tournament - winner still TBD!

Some pics from the Island

Tibi or not to be

It is still so beautiful outside! We have been sooo lucky with this weather. Today started out a bit cooler than other days, but that didn't deter Corey and I from a run.

After a great run we all headed to Tibi (Mom, Ali, Corey and me). I am glad I found a few things - a trip to SSI is complete when there is a Tibi purchase.

After our Tibi excursion we took a quick tour of Sea Island before dropping Mom off for golf with Mrs. Keach and Mrs. Bennet. Ali, Corey, and I then went to Nautica Joe's for some wraps - and you guessed it - sweet potato fries. Nautica Joe's restaurant that we usually go to was closed - they have closed one of their two stores due to economic conditions. You know things are pretty bad when they charge for water.

I am sitting on the porch now just soaking up the sun.

Gnat's Landing doesn't dissapoint

Last night started with a bit of a dance party (dance party for one).

When the dance party was over, we headed out to dinner at Gnat's. Here's the gang. I did get a side of sweet potato fries. : )

We walked over the the Keaches once we got back from dinner ... Julie and Brenden are leaving the island today so we wanted to say goodbye.

Lastly, how great is this sign?! This was hanging at Gnat's when we got there.

Today's weather - sunny mid 60's. Might not play golf -- I need to go over and practice my putting!

More Golf!

The day started, once again, with a great beach walk. Mom, Corey and I trekked a pretty far way - it started off as a really sunny walk and ended with a few small raindrops.

After our walk, Corey and I headed out for golf on Plantation.

I finally got a chicken salad sandwich at the turn! MMMM ... so good.

Ali made it from Indy with no problems ... we are heading to Gnat's for dinner tonight (my favorite place to go out - maybe because they have the best sweet potato fries?!)

A stay at home kind of evening

It was a great evening to stay in last night. My muscles were tired from the beach walking and the 18 holes of golf. That's what vacation is for, though. Here's a pic of the pool at night.

We brought in some blackened shrimp from Crab Trap and Mom made some pizzas and spinach dip - yum yum!

After dinner, Corey and I headed down to watch the San Diego vs Denver game .. I was going to watch and catch up on some gossip.

We had a wonderful surprise when the Keaches walked over for a night cap.

Today is forecasted to be another nice day with highs in the mid 70's and a slight (30%) chance of rain. Mikey is headed to JAX to pick up Ali .. and I think the 4 of us left behind in SSI will play some golf.

Walk number 2

Mom and I finished the day with an even longer beach walk than we took this am!

And now wine and food : )

over 80 degrees!

It is hot in SSI ... and no complaints here. Mom and I started the day with a long sweaty beach walk. We saw so many cute dogs, including a pair of 3 month old Goldens. The little Goldens didn't know what to think about the horse that was trotting down the beach.

Around noon the girls headed out to play 18 on Sea Side. We played in record speed - under 3 hours!

After golf we met the guys for a drink at the Lodge.

Of course we had to have a Sweetwater....

We are finishing some afternoon snacks while watching football. Our evening plans include carryout from Beachcomber (best BBQ on the island) and maybe some Crab Trap shrimp - mmmmm!

A Night with the Keaches

We had a fun party at the Keaches last night!

Corey and I made an early exit because we are still recovering from too much Christmas. The rest of the crew played euchre.

I am still marvelling at Mrs. Keaches engineering skills to keep her glasses together.

Plan for today is golf in the early afternoon with high temps in the mid 70's. : )

Travel to the south

We made the trek from up north in Savannah down south to St Simons today. We started with 9 holes of golf in the foggy AM, and then had some lunch at the club before heading for SSI.

There was a bit of traffic so we had to find an alternate route.

Once we got to SSI, the Truebloods and Trobaughs had a quick drink. Then Mom and I left for a walk on the beach!

Time to shower and get ready for dinner at the Keaches!

What a fun night!

What a fun night! I cannot explain it all in words ... so here we go with pictures:

At the club for our happy hour and shrimp night:

After dinner, we started on a golf cart ride:

And on our way around the neighborhood, we found a friend's house that needed some lovin'.

Here we are in the master bedroom:

And in the master bath:

Corey had to relieve himself:

And Derek was workin it on the kitchen island:

And then, we leisurely found our way home:

Time to watch one of the Bourne movies and then get to bed .... and also get ready for Lori's b-day tomorrow!
