Friends and Family

The Admiral flew to Tennessee for a week with her Mom and oldest son John, then rode back to Florida with long-time best friends Bob and Mary. The Captain met us in Indian Rocks Beach, and we spent several days at their condo.



We came back to Bradenton on the weekend to welcome the Admiral's sister Becky and her boyfriend Michael for a brief visit, and we showed them the marina, some of the city of Bradenton, had happy hour(s) at Mattison's (and a long chat and recipe exchange with the chef), and a moonlight boat ride across the Manatee River where we picked up a bride and groom and brought them back to dance and head for their honeymoon suite. Even though it was a short visit, it was nice to see them and show them where we live and play.


We went back to Indian Rocks the next week so Captains Bob and Jay could replace some tile on the patio of the condo and tell tall tales and sip cold ones.


















Bob and Mary's granddaughter Katie visited the second week, so we got to bore her with oldies talk and laziness. It was nice to catch up, walk on the beach, and make plans for future trips.
