The Holiday in Homosassa

We started our holiday weekend with wings at the Shed.  Actually that’s what we do almost every Friday night.  After doing our wing tour of Citrus County restaurants, I’ve decided that wings at the Shed are just as good as anywhere else, 50 cents each, and close to home!  Plus there is a band, cheap beer, and we usually run into a few neighbors and colorful tourists.  Very entertaining!

And this is why we don’t take our boat on the river on a holiday weekend! Here’s the spring from the bridge on Fishbowl Dr.

Went for a bike ride on Sunday morning.

Except mama otter doesn’t really care about my presence. She chows down on her crab.

 

And that’s how we spent this holiday in Homosassa!

 

 

 

 

Travel Dog Blog, Captain Scott’s in New London, CT

We started planning our recent driving adventure several months ago–as soon as we found out that Jes and Andrew were having a wedding celebration in Niantic, CT.  Of course, if we are driving, Maggie is going, too.

Our first dinner in CT was at Captain Scott’s in New London.  Not only dog friendly, but BYOB!  How much fun is that?  Andrew’s family brought tablecloths, lots of drinks, and dessert!

The place was crazy busy.  Had to stand in a long line to order food but it actually moved pretty fast.  We had lots of assorted delicious seafood, talked, nibbled and sat there for hours.  We will definitely ask to go back next time we are in Niantic–with or without the pooch!

More about our driving adventure later this week!
