Florida and Family....Part Three and The End

Today is Saturday...it started out a nice beautiful day. My brother joined us for breakfast as Jenn cooked for all of us. We sat around and visited.
My brother and I decided to take a little stroll along the beach...it was nice. While out on the beach I took this picture of our hotel from the water.
As you can see there's a left side a middle and a right side....on the right side the first 3 windows starting to the left of the right side on the top floor is where we were staying. All three windows had a balcony with chairs and table. A nice place to hang and chill.
After the walk was over we came back up to the room and visited a little more.
Then my brother gets up from the couch and says, hey, there's a dude getting arrested out on the beach...so of course we all watch not knowing what he did to get arrested in the first place. He had no one following behind him. I would guess he was alone.
I at the time didn't have my glasses and couldn't;t see that far for details starting taking pictures so I could sit back down and see what was going on....thus I get to share with you all.

Things seemed pretty calm until he got closer to where concrete was and I guess he thought he could get away. He made one move and then....he went down fast.


This is what he looked like when he got up...damn dude...bummer...now you gotta go to jail all gritty from the sand.

Afterwards I joined Jenn, Paul and Liam at the pool...my brother came to tell me my cousin and aunt were on the way over and about that time I looked up and there they were...so I got out and joined them back at the room for a little visit before getting ready for dinner.
At 5:30 there were 20 of us meeting up for dinner.
We ate at a Spanish Restaurant called Columbia and it was on the water.
The food was excellent and though I didn't get to visit with some family as much as others it was still nice to be together and visit. Some of us haven't seen each other in 20 years. Not just me being in Texas...some of the family in Florida haven't seen each other in years.
And I couldn't keep this young nice looking waiter off me.
What's a girl gonna do.

After we ate and visited....some of the cousins went to place on the beach called Shepherds where we danced, talked and some even had cocktails but that's about all I can say....some had too many cocktails and some even became really good friends with a guy named Jack...
I guess it's true for Florida too....
What happens in Florida stays in Florida!
The next day I stayed in...a little tired...yea...tired is a good word for it...then that evening me and this little guy spend the evening together while his mommy and daddy went into Tampa for a little gambling at the Hard Rock Casino and for dinner.

What better way to end the last night in Clearwater than to be with one of my favorite boys and this beautiful sunset.
Thank you to all my family that drove and came out to spend a little time with me.
I love you all

Beautiful sunset! I can't believe you took pictures of someone getting arrested. I was laughing so hard that Jim asked me what was going on. I said, "Only Robin!" Thanks for the laugh today!

I can see where Liam would beat out the waiter as your favorite man. That smile of his probably gets the ladies everytime.
