Peanut Island and Boating Fun

Yesterday, we were up WAY to early. I know this because instead of getting on the boat and opening a beer, I drank coffee! I’m a fan of day drinking, but morning drinking is a different story!

*Funny story… I went to Athens one night with Shelly, Gump, and a few other people after working 4 12 hour shifts in a row, and only having 4-5 hours of sleep the night before. We came back home and everyone stayed up talking until the morning hours. Gump and I shared the last beer at 7:30AM! I felt great when I finally made it home around 9AM. (I’d been up for over 28 hours by the way!) I fell asleep while watching TV on the couch around 10AM. I woke up later that afternoon and felt horrible! I really can’t describe how bad I felt. I’ve been sick from drinking to much, but never felt so tired and hungover I physically hurt! I think it was a combination of drinking for so long and lack of sleep. Gump came over that afternoon and asked how I felt. I gave him a DIE look and went back to sleep. I slept for a good 24 hours and felt bad for days! Shelly hasn’t gone out with me again since that night, come to think about. I really don’t blame her, either!

So moral of the story… Do not go out with your boyfriends buddies after getting up at 4:45AM and try to drink as much as they do. You will lose. And there is a last call at the bar for a reason. No one should still be drinking when the sun come up :)*

Back to yesterday…

We arrived at the dock around 8:30 and headed South to Peanut Island. We parked the boat and walked around the island for a little while.

I guess we were not the only ones out early. At 10:30, Peanut Island was already packed!

We started to get hungry around noon and decided to leave and find food.

We went to Rum Bar and Panama Hatties for lunch. The boys enjoyed a couple beers, so I volunteered to drive back.

The real reason I drove back is because our Captain was to busy being “King Of The World!”

My Co-Captain!

We called it a day around 3:30PM and made our way back to the dock. I couldn’t wait to jump in the shower and rinse the salt water off. It just makes you feel extra gross.

Huck and I hung out around the house the rest of the day watching movies.

We have no plans for today, either. Huck has been working all day, and I’m about to clean house.

Did you do anything special this weekend?

I noticed lots of pictures of people at Memorial Day Parades on Facebook. I couldn’t find any Memorial Day events in our area.

Pomegranate and Lime Beer Punch

I have one more recipe to share with you for your Memorial Day Weekend. I played around with this recipe yesterday. Recipe testing with alcohol isn’t the best idea, by the way. I originally made this recipe with an IPA. It was really good but not recommended if you do not LOVE IPA’s. It was really bitter. Wheat beer would be the best choice.

I received samples of POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice in my Food Blog Forum Swag Bag and knew I wanted to make a fruity beer drink with it. Bottled Pomegranate juice is SO MUCH easier than trying to juice a whole pomegranate!!

Memorial Day is the holiday to kick off the start of Summer but do not forget to remember all the members of our military and their families.

Saturday Stuff

We were up at 7AM this morning and on the water by 830.

We took Oopie out on Nate’s boat with us today. He loved it and looked so cute in his little life vest!

I hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day Weekend.
