We spent two glorious weeks at the beach. The first week was with my family and the second week was with G.I. Mike's. It was wonderful because we had cousins, Grandparents and Grrrreeaat Grandparents to help us out with the kids. Also, muchos grassyass (like my spanish?) to Dr. Justice, the condo was marvelous dahling. I can say that a two week beach vacation is the way to reunite with your husband after a year long deployment.
Ok, so on our little holiday, we ate dinner twice, yes twice, at this little place called Blackwater Grill. Michael's parents had eaten there previously and highly recommend it. On a date night while there, we decided to check it out. Not only was the blackeyed susan cocktail delicious, but so was the fresh, homemade banana daquri. Our drinks were so tasty and then we couldn't decide on a single appetizer so we opted to just get two. It was a good thing because we wolfed them down! We got the
Boudin Fritters and the Blackwater sundae. You will have to go check out their website because if I start describing it, I am going to go into the kitchen and tear up what food we have. It was that good. For our entree's I had the shrimp and grits (heavenly, just heavenly) and Michael had the evenings fish special that was the Mahi Mahi. For dessert, he got the Key Lime Pie and I got their Bread Pudding. If you are ever in the area, please check it out. This place was featured last week on Food Networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri . It was so delish, we went back another night!
Back to the beachy part! Tristan LOVED the beach. The boy thought he was in the worlds largets sandbox. Tobbie got very brave and started taking off her arm swimmies. Next year we are doing full on swim lessons. I would have put her in this year, but we have been so busy with the beach, G.I. Mike coming home and then the move (whole nother blog post for that). We miss it and can't wait to go back.
enjoy the photos!
