Sunday Afternoon Crawlers

There were nine of us that were going out for lunch this afternoon and pool bar hop. We met at The Sanibel Grill around 1:30. When we arrived there, the place was very crowded, so we made our way over to Biddles Bucket.

We had a very good lunch, good service and enjoyable conversation with friends. Biddles were having 'Happy Hour' all day. Drinks were two for one. During a part of the conversation, it was decided that our name should be The Sanibel Crawlers instead of Bar Hoppers. None of us are really in good enough shape to be hopping. :-) Another discussion was about the weather. Our two Indiana guests and the new residents from Missouri thought the temperature was great, however the rest of us thin blooded island people were happier staying inside today. So, no pool bars.

Next stop McT's Shrimp House and Tavern. The bar room there is really quite cozy and decorated in a casual Old Florida-style. A couple folks ordered apetizers while we were there and found them to be very good. Our service was good also. During 'Happy Hour' there were special prices on some of the apetizers and drinks. Once again the conversation was flowing and there was much laughter involved. Some of us were checking the TV now and then watching a football game. Becky was full of funny remarks, which had us laughing as we left, around 5:30.

I forgot to mention that there was a critter attack. :-)

Hey, Tootie. It looks like you all had a grand time. I'm still wishing I was able to hang on the island every day!! Life has been rolling fast here, but I'll be blogging again today - finally! Take care!

Mm. You guys have ALL the fun! I would like that fish over Mc T's entry way in my kitchen! When I come down I'm going to steal it! You can warn Mc T!

Tootie, what is YOUR drink of choice when you do all this crawling? I'm usually a margarita girl ... but I'll try anything fun and colorful! I like a little wine from time to time too...

I know those people!! LOL. It was a fun afternoon. And you're right, Tootie, I doubt that some of us could hop. Crawling is so much better at our age.

Tootie said...

Well Melli, iced tea is actually my drink of choice.:-) I will drink Ultra or rum and pineapple juice. Tink had an interesting one that was orange and tropical looking. I may try that one next time. I'm sure you would fit right into our Sun. afternoon crawl. :-) Come on down! We'll help you get that fish!

I am totally laughing at Tink in that one photo. She seems to be giving you 'the look' while you are taking her photo! LOL!

What a fun day spent with friends. =)

Tootie said...

You are right Mare, I hadn't noticed the expression on her face. I won't tell her that you were laughing at her. :-0

Mare said...

Yes. Please don't.

She's from New Yawk, you know. She probably has 'connections' to take care of people like me. ;)
