Summer Time, Part II

I mentioned yesterday that we were on the River last weekend.  We had “the girls” here for three days so left early one morning for Monkey Island!  We’ve tried this before but never can get out of the canals before the littlest is asking “When are we going home?”  But we bribed them with crackers, chips and juice boxes and not only made it to Monkey Island but actually got to the Spring!

Five Monkeys on the Island, Two Monkeys on the boat!

We also saw two manatees, five dolphins, and one turtle!  A big day for us and sea creatures!

More Summer Time Fun to come!

 

Busy times in Old Homosassa

Yesterday’s paper announced that Gov. Scott moved up scalloping season to this Saturday!  Zowie!  So this will be our first crazy Summer weekend in Old Homosassa.

Here’s a couple peaceful pictures from last weekend….

View from the park to the spring, also known as the blue waters.  Lovely.

Not only does scalloping start on Saturday, there’s also fireworks on the river that night. July 4th is on Thursday so we have a lot of out-of-town people for the week. I’ll post some pics from the weekend on Monday.  Fun!

Local Places, Local Faces

Seagrass Pub

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty.  But Pretty is as pretty does.  Pretty building and décor but after two experiences, not so pretty food or service.  Anyhow, wondering what all the other locals that read my blog have to say?

Terry was unhappy with his wings. I LOVED the homemade potato chips but that grilled fish was so sad.
