Good times...
Joy and Ryan are down here from Chicago taking a "second honeymoon" and after a few phone chats, we got to meet up with them tonight. Joy and I counted back, and we've known each other online about five years now -- she was a member of the very first Newlywed Ring, and also participated in the very first Dress Contest back in '98 (you can see her dress here). So it was a meeting that was long-overdue, and we get to do it all over again in August when we're on our way to Gnomedex and will be road-tripping via a Chicago-detour!

But back to this meeting... First they drove all the way up here to Georgia the 'burbs to see the house first. After that we convoyed down to St. Petersburg to have dinner at Dan Marino's and drinks at Wet Willie's Daiquiri Bar -- both located at Baywalk near the St. Pete Pier. Of course we took pictures, so if you want to see them, just stop by Shutterblog!

My only complaint was that it just wasn't long enough! Can't wait 'til August, Joy and Ryan... Thanks for an incredibly fun evening! It was great to finally meet you!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I hope you had a good time at Dan Marinos... we went when it first opened and had to wait over 2 hours to get in. By 11pm, the food just wasn't worth it! Try Too Jays next time you're there (next to Marino's) they have a killer Coconut Cake :)

Thanks for telling me to look today. Loved the photos. Looks like you had a great time. And, thank you for the Mother's Day phone call. I love you, Mama

We've eaten at Marino's twice now (once last fall and again this weekend and had different meals each time) and have had great luck both tries. I'd definitely give them a chance once more...

I'll pass on the coconut cake (the texture freaks me out - see #14 here), but thanks so much for the Too Jays rec!
