Great weekend part 1 - Friday night!

A while back I posted a blog about a nice day at The Casa Marina marking our friend Emily's birthday.  Well this weekend was the turn of her husband Joe's 50th birthday celebrations!

The party started at the Perry Hotel in the suite that Emily rented for the weekend - it had a big wrap around patio so was great for a group - where we had drinks and appetizers.

We then moved to the restaurant downstairs.  Yes, Joe & Emily's new puppy Ziggy, came too.  What an adorable little baby.

It was a relaxed affair, everyone chatting and laughing over drinks and by the time the food came we were eating by lamp light.  You can't really see in the pic above but Patrick and I ordered a seafood tower to share.

18 Oysters, half a dozen clams, shrimp, tuna tartare, mahi mahi.  It was really great and we were pleased with our order. 

Read on for part 2!  Saturday.

 

La La Land. Again :)

 If you've been following my blog you will recall my love (ok, obsession) for La La Land. Well it is with great pleasure, I tell you about a lovely event hosted by Key West Film Festival, in the Perry Hotel on Stock Island, that I attended last night.

Myself and my neighbour Feliz got a lift over to Stock Island from Patrick.  It is not far away - maybe a 5 or 10 minute drive.  We had some nice food of burger sliders and french fries.  The sliders were good - a very nice char grilled flavour from them.  Two cocktails set us up and over to the screening area on the lawn.

What a cute set up!  Social distanced and outdoors.  I felt very safe.
