{ Caribbee Key }

Locally caught blackened Mahi Mahi Wrap. Yum Yum

Well now, who can pass up this opportunity?

My husband is one of those who works hard and plays hard. He loves the weekends. I love the weekends. We're a heavenly made match, we are. He loves the beach. I love the beach. See what I mean? So this weekend, like all weekends, we pondered over how to best spend our time. He asked, "Do you feel like going out to eat somewhere?" Me, "Sure. Anyplace in particular?" Without any thought he responded, "Any place where I can see water or the ocean." That settled it. We headed out to one of our favorite haunts--Neptune Beach/Atlantic Beach and because a yummy little beach dive known as Caribbee Key had a few tables out front, we decided to eat there. We'd eaten at Caribbee Key before. But, this time we were dining al fresco AND I had my camera AND the sunlight was just right.....AND they had $3 Bloody Marys!

Sealed with a Kiss, Kirsten

{ Rita's Ice - Custard - Happiness }

Whenever we go to Atlantic Beach or Neptune Beach, we have to make a stop by Rita's on the way home. We HAVE to. It's not a, "Hey, so do you wanna go by Rita's when we head home?" It is more like, "So what flavor are you gonna get at Rita's on the way home?" There is no question about whether or not we will be making a stop at Rita's. It is assumed.

And let me tell you, the line is well worth the wait and I like the way their sign advertises

 * Ice * Custard * Happiness *

I will stand in line for Happiness that's for sure....well, I'll stand in line for Italian ice and custard too.

Rita's has a huge variety of Italian Ice and their best thing is a Gelati Cup which is 1 layer of custard, 1 layer of Italian Ice, and topped with one more layer of custard. Today, my husband ordered the mango Italian ice blended Gelati and I opted for the orange creme blend. Saylor went for the sprinkle loaded vanilla ice cream. We were as happy as 3 beach bums could be on the way home with our yummo icy treats......until the brain freeze hit.

Sealed with a Kiss, Kirsten
