Family Visits

We arrived back at Tourist in time to get prepped for a quick visit from my daughter Angela and her husband Doug. They, like so many others had had enough of winter and found a couple of days to escape.

 Happy to be off the plane and in warmer weather.

 Dad & Daughter at the Green Flash on Captiva.

This is the only green flash I've ever seen.

 We stopped for a walk on the beach when Ange thought she saw an imaginary Limbo pole!

The only request they had for a choice of dinner spots was Carrabba's. One of our favorite chain restaurants so it wasn't hard to oblige
.

 Ready to dig in at Carrabba's.

With only 2 full days at their disposal it wasn't conducive to unleashing Tourist from the dock so we did the next best thing. We drove to Matlacha and rented kayaks. We both had tandem kayaks and after some uncoordinated attempts at paddling we all got it figured out and had a good time. Of course we saw birds and fish that seemed like they were going to jump into the kayak and a dolphin to make the adventure complete. We even saw a couple of manatees stick their noses out. We did get a little wet but that goes with it.

 Paddles in sync in the hold position.

Pam checking to see if I'm paddling.

In need of refreshment after our adventure we drove to St. James City and made a stop at Woody's.

 No not Key West. Just Woody's!

That night Pam made Asian salmon and we dined aboard Tourist.

Ange getting in as much time in the warm weather as possible before returning home.

All too soon it was time to head back to the airport and say goodbye. A quick visit but a good one.
