What goes well at a party? Great company, good food, lots of booze and, oh yeah, Pirates!

We caught up with our friends, Jim & Laurie on Marco Island. They had planned a Sunset Pirate Cruise and we tagged along (i.e. invited ourselves). Jim & Laurie were the perfect tour guides and hosts. We walked the Marco Island Resident’s Beach, followed up with drinks & appetizers (carbs, yeah!) at their place and then off to the Pirate Cruise. You may tell by the pictures that Steve was in full-on party mode.

We had an amazing meal at Snook Inn and then a leisurely walk for some and a stumble for others back to Jim & Laurie’s. We ended the night chatting with many of the stories forgotten by some in the morning. Jim accomplished his feat of getting Steve liquored up and not having pizza at 3 o’clock in the morning!

No hangovers (Steve’s SideNote : Always mix water in your rum!) so we enjoyed a great breakfast in the morning at Doreen’s Cup of Joe. Both of their restaurant suggestions were awesome, as evidenced by the line-ups and the wonderful food!

Thank you Jim & Laurie for an amazing 24 hours. I guess we really needed some social interaction!
