Dinner with Jim and Judy







April 14 - Thursday - 87 degrees -

Today was the day we had to take the RV back to Tarpon Springs to have the right rear jack replaced, the service department told us it would be a two hour job at the most, we pulled back into our spot here at MacDill at 4:00 pm this afternoon, and had dinner reservations at 4:30 pm, think we had to hurry? you betcha ......

Jim and Judy, which are some of our friends from SMART are leaving to start home to PA tomorrow and we all wanted to have dinner together so they picked us up and we went to The Colonnade Restaurant on the Bay which is located on Bayshore Boulevard. The one picture shows the view from our window while we were dining on our seafood. Lou and I love driving up Bayshore Blvd, the view is just beautiful. This is in Tampa, and across the Bay is St. Petersburg. Tonight while we were eating we say a Carnival Cruise ship go by and then a fleet of sail boats were out enjoying the evening.

I dined on coconut shrimp, Lou had shrimp and scallops. None of us had room for dessert, so we by passed that. On our way home we say our first armadillo. This is the first one we have seen, last year, we had them in our yard, and Estee loved watching them, don't know the difference. Maybe they don't like the mosquitoes either.

We are counting down the days now. Tomorrow we have to go to the PX and Commissary and I want to go to the beach for a bit, then Saturday, we go to Venice, Doris' and Scott's and Sunday we get ready to leave on Monday for Patrick AF Base.
