The End is Near

We've been enjoying our last week of summer -- till June or so. The weather has been gorgeous: low 80s, tolerable humidity. We spent several hours at the beach on Tuesday and again today. This afternoon, I threw caution to the wind after my first dip in the cool Gulf waters and didn't re-apply sunscreen, which I wear every day of the year. I'm a little red now, as I sit on the deck after a cool shower.

On Monday afternoon, we went back to O'Maddy's for a beer and an appetizer. Bob thinks the Plummer's Perfect Buffalo Wings were the best he ever tasted. On Tuesday, we had dinner at Leverock's (fish tacos for me, salmon for Bob; both good, not great).

Yesterday, we strolled on the boardwalk at Sunset Beach and stopped at Shells for happy hour. It was early, so we brought home an appetizer (peel & eat shrimp) and main course (shrimp 'n' scallop pasta). We had a late dinner on the deck, along with a bottle of wine, and then moved to the front deck overlooking Gulf Boulevard -- always good entertainment for people who like cars. Today, we're looking forward to a last meal with Linda and Gerard at Salt Rock Grill.

It's been a perfect week: doesn't get much better than this.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
