Bob & I are going into town to meet Mel & Jo

They are leaving tomorrow so we thought we would do 

Malory Square sunset with them

We invited Gary & Janie and this is them waiting

for us to go bikin' !!

Janie petting a pup that rolled over for her as soon as 

she started to go near him

This is where we were meeting Mel & Jo for Happy Hour

Guess what !?! 

They had too much Happy Hour the night before

and called to tell us they couldn't make it !

So we did Happy Hour without them :o(

Janie in front of the Turtle Kraals

There's always an Emergency Response Unit

This is my favorite one so far !

The Florida plate on this van is "PIE MAN"

One day we will be there

Oh - and look - our favorite pizza joint !!

We actually walked by getting no pie!

We're walking around on Duval St. trying to pick

the best bar to go to for the Superbowl - Raven's Game

so we go into this place....

While looking around Durty Harry's we see a lot

of ship's plaques outside on the wall so Bob just

for the heck of it went to look for his Grandfather's

and it was the first one he saw !!

His Grandfather had a 444 foot, missile frigate ship

named after him (keel laid in 1976) for being a

WWII hero and Congressional Medal of Honor

recipient.  He retired from the Navy as a

Rear Admiral.

The Pencil Palm

This is a sign on top of the bldg where we kept

our bikes while in town....There was a huge light 

behind it but Bob was able to make it a 

perfect picture !

Luckily we got this shot!

The orange moon was behind the clouds 

by the time we got back to the boat 

This is at the dinghy dock

Well today was one of those days that just didn't go as planned :0) We have friends coming into town tomorrow, Nick & Kathi from Colorado Springs, Colorado so today was a chore day.  Well guess what, NO, it wasn't :0)  We slept late, got up and discussed what we were going to do, made ourselves very tired thinking about everything we were going to do so we had to lay down and take a nap before we could start.  Once we got up we decided we needed to go into town with the winds blowing at 20-25 mph to meet Mel & Jo for Happy Hour since they were leaving tomorrow.... they bailed out (Jo OD's on wine the night before) so we made the best of it....we ate, drank, walked Duval St., bought cookies, coconut fudge, ice cream, I got a T shirt and Bob found the USS Antrim plaque...now how much better than that can it get !!  There's always tomorrow for another day of cleaning !!
