St. Patrick's Day on the Beach

If I don't blog about it, it's like it didn't happen.

I was asking myself "what did we do last year for St. Patrick's Day?" and since I couldn't find it on my blog... it's as if that day didn't exist. So, in an effort to keep better track of my life this year, here's what we spent our Saturday doing...

After braving the Spring Break crowds, we finally made it to Ft Myers Beach. I wanted to explore and knew there would be music for me and good drinks for him.

We had to park REALLY far away but got in a nice mile beach walk.

We stopped and listened to a terrible DJ at a beach side bar before heading to Smokin' Oyster Brewery. He had yummy beer and I had scallops. I can't indulge in beverages but I surely can indulge in FOOD. Yum.

Our final destination was a place on the water that promised some cheesy cover bands--Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones. We only stayed for Eric Clapton before heading back. It was such a beautiful day out though.

A green rum runner. It smelled like death (also known as really cheap rum).

Also - who know one of my husband's special skills was cabbage bowling?

...STRIKE!

I am kind of in disbelief by how HOT it is in Florida already. Don't get me wrong - I'm used to the warm weather, but last year, I could have sworn that it wasn't THIS HOT in March. I could be wrong but oh lordy...am I going to be in for it this summer!

Looks like fun!

UH Florida has NEVER been this blazing hot in MARCH. This is straight up May weather. :( Which means the summer is going to be brutal. Let the complaining for me start now... :(

I'm sorry it's so hot there right now - I think the whole country is hotter than in years past. And of course this would have to be the year you're pregnant so it's going to feel even worse I imagine.
Looks like a great St patty's even without the adult bevs for you - your hubs has great skill bowling cabbages and drinking at the same time :)

Were about to move to NW Florida and are thinking of taking a trip down time Tampa for Memorial Day. Don't know if you've spent much time there, but any suggestions of fun things to do would be great!

This is so fun! I love cabbage bowling! I was in Fl last year the first week of april and it was warm, but like spring in the north warm. Nothing crazy.

I don't know what it feels like to celebrate St. Patty's in warmth! So lucky!

Ashley said...
