I’ve met Captain Morgan a few times…and I even remember to tell the tales! Glad you guys had a blast!

He offered us rum
To keep us mum . . .
But I chose tequila, instead. 😉

Thanks, Suzi!

You guys are having way too much fun. Keep going.

nrhatch - June 16, 2011

I know! If we don’t watch it . . . we’ll exceed our FUN quotient for the week! 😀

What a fun place! Where’s Cruzan Islands? Anywhere near California. I’d love to take my two granddaughters to visit Captain Morgan.

Cruzan Islands is a group of islands in the Caribbean:

We went Cruising The Islands (to Siesta Key) and saw the sign for Cruzan Islands ~ I believe it’s an ad for Cruzan Rum. 😉

Captain Morgan was standing outside a bar in Boatyard Village. But he might have a “clone” in California.

That looked wonderful. Glad you had a great day, Nancy 😀
Now I’m off to fry some chips. That plate looked deeply interesting.

nrhatch - June 16, 2011

Quite a fun day, Kate. The fries (chips to you) were yummy ~ a perfect accompaniment to “adult beverages.” 😀

5. Rosa - June 16, 2011

Wow, I wouldn’t mind having a drink with the Captain!

nrhatch - June 16, 2011

He’s a handsome and debonair fellow ~ some might say swashbuckling! 😉

Looks like a wonderful day! Arrrr! (I’m trying to be a pirate)

nrhatch - June 16, 2011

I used to do that with my nieces and nephews:

Aarrgh, I am a pirate . . . seeking treasure. Aarrgh, I got me some!

I think I have seen that place on T.V. before. Those fries look fabulous! You look so relaxed and comfortable. Nice tan.

There’s another restaurant in the Keys . . . probably Key West . . . that has 100’s of thousands of dollar bills stapled all over its interior.

The bartender at the Siesta Key Oyster Bar estimated about 5,000 dollar bills hanging over our heads yesterday. That’s still a nice chunk of change! 😉

We had a very relaxing day yesterday.
Today? Not so much.
I’m glad we decided to celebrate early.

Wow, I could do with a lovely plate of chips like that – I’m staaarving! Your trip sounds wonderful and jolly good fun…

nrhatch - June 17, 2011

They make amazing “chips” . . . really delicious. Jolly good FUN! 😀

9. barb19 - June 16, 2011

I would have chosen the tequila over the rum too Nancy! You two guys are having a ball – let it continue!!

nrhatch - June 17, 2011

Rum makes a delightful pina colada or daiquiri . . . but salt-rimmed margaritas are still a fave in summer. 😀

10. viewfromtheside - June 17, 2011

it looks like you two are having a great time, carry on enjoying!

nrhatch - June 17, 2011

Thanks, Sidey. Will do!

11. Cindy - June 17, 2011

Happy times. You’ve got a great set of pins, Nancy 🙂

nrhatch - June 17, 2011

Thanks, Cin! I love living in FL . . . but would not enjoy it as much if I felt self-conscious wearing shorts. 😉

12. eof737 - June 17, 2011

I’ll take those fries… and the cruzan too. 🙂
I have gifted three Blog Awards to You! Feel free to post them on your blog and share them.
Have a Happy Summer!

Thanks, E! Three??? I’ll swing round and take a look . . .

Last time I tidied up, I closeted previous blogging awards. I just dusted them off and put them back out . . . for now. I’m not sure whether SLTW should have a “trophy” case on display. Hmm . . .

13. Tilly Bud - June 17, 2011

That pirate looks a rum fellow 🙂

nrhatch - June 17, 2011

Yo ho ho . . . and a bottle of rum! Cheers!

14. Rufus' Food and Spirits Guide - June 18, 2011

Looks like a wonderful time. Especially, the margarita part!

nrhatch - June 18, 2011

‘ Twas! 😎

15. oldancestor - June 20, 2011

Rockin’ them shorts there, Hatch. Dont’ tell BFF I said so.

😉

nrhatch - June 20, 2011

Thanks, OA. Mum’s the word . . . unless I drink tee many martoonis. Hiccup!
