Blood Sweat and Tears

I realized today, I haven’t blogged in a really long time. Tabby and Michael came to visit last week after going to Orlando for their honeymoon. When they arrived, we showed them around the area. Starting at Tequesta of course! We enjoyed a few beers, and the boys  helped the brewers bottle 750 22oz beers. Me and Tabby played checkers and watched Smile

After having a few beers we went to the beach and The Square Grouper.

The Grouper is an awesome place to hangout.

The next day, I took them to Blowing Rock Preserves. The water was so blue and the waves were crashing against the rocks.

Huck joined us for lunch at Guanabanas. We started with the Gator Bites. Michael is not a very adventurous eater… To say the lease. I couldn’t believe he actually tried the gator bites and actually liked them.

Huck ordered the Shrimp Po’Boy and I ordered the Shrimp Wrap. Our food wasn’t to bad! Surprisingly!

Michael and Tabby left after dinner to go to Cocoa Beach. My Dad’s family were in town including my parents. Huck and I left Friday afternoon to join everyone. Since Huck was going to Tampa on Saturday, I packed up the dogs and planned to stay the weekend.

Friday night, we had dinner with my Grandparents, Aunts, and Cousins. My Papa made like a hundred steaks for everyone. They were good. My Papa knows now to grill!

You know you have a keeper when he is the first one in the kitchen cleaning up!! Or he was just showing off. Either way… Keep it up Baby!!

My Aunt Stacey planned the trip for everyone to celebrate my Grandparents 50th wedding Anniversary. It was great being able to spend time with them. I haven’t seen my Aunts since Christmas.

Huck left really early Saturday and I spent the day with my parents. I enjoyed having them to myself for a few days. The dogs enjoyed it too.

Ginny was in heaven. He was able to watch people on the beach and enjoy the A/C blowing in his face. Best of both worlds.

For dinner, my parents and I went to Florida Seafood for dinner.

We started with 1 1/2lb of Crab Legs.

Then my main course came.

There was so much food! I was stuffed.

Sunday, me and the dogs packed up and headed home. I still cry every time people leave or I leave. Will I always do it?? I feel like a baby, and it makes Huck feel bad. He thinks it is his fault he made me leave my family. I keep reminding him it was my idea originally. I love it here.

Tuesday, my Grandparents came down from Cocoa to spend the day with us. For dinner, we took them to Bubba Gump.

Tuesday night, I met up with Deena (from the beer competition) for girls night. We went to see Magic Mike. The movie itself was horrible, but the dancing scenes were great!! It was fun to be in a theater full of woman all ready to see half naked men with amazing bodies. The energy in the theater was disrupted by the preview for a moment though. Who’s idea was it to preview nothing but scary movies before the Magic Mike?? Fail!! As soon as they showed Tatum’s naked butt in the first scene, the energy was back.

I think I like Alcide even more now, too! Winking smile It was a great night!

For the 4th, Huck and I worked all day, but did take a break to ride our bikes downtown for the fireworks. It was nice not having to sit in traffic afterwards, but crossing the road was a little scary!

I will be back later with a recipe. This post is getting too long. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!
