Grand Bellagio Or Bust

Before we left Indianapolis, we were told that the surprises we found along the way would be our favorite part of the trip and that was definitely the case when we were able to meet up with The Walker Family at their condo in Clearwater, Florida!  Court let us know that they were in town from Indy for a few days, so we thought we'd give them a call once we finally found cell phone service in OCALA (believe us it was a challenge...maybe the bears were climbing the cell phone towers) and good thing we did!  Our plan was to meet for dinner the next evening, but it ended up turning into an all out party with their wonderful neighbors, a delicious dinner at Rumba, a hotel like stay at the condo including continental breakfast, hot showers & laundry service, plus a fun day in the sun at their beautiful pool the next day!

Not only did we enjoy two for one libations & delicious appetizers, but we also shared the best tempura lobster ever on Mama Mc's recommendation...Katie's only complaint was that "Bobble Head Babbitt" didn't give her her fair share

The weather was perfect and the pool was so relaxing...the lemonade champagne & fresh shrimp with St. Elmo's Cocktail Sauce didn't hurt either

If only the real live Stone's & McClimon's could have been there too

  3. I need an explanation for the "Bobble Head Babbitt" moniker. I'm really hoping it catches on too, considering he has taken to calling me "Bill". Thanks for the call on my bday you two. It means a lot.
