He smiles every time he talks about this day. It started with a private fishing charter for him, Ryan, Michael, Brandt and Dad. They awoke at 5 am and were on the boat by 6 catching their bait for the day.
They loved their captain and the first mate, Vinny, who took them on a whirl of a fishing trip. They caught several king mackerel and their only regret is that they didn't bring Hayes along because he would have had a blast.
Uncle Harry brought Hayes to the marina to greet them, though, and that was almost good enough.
The day continued with a nap for Jason (I was on the beach, of course) and we left the houses around 3 pm to head to the Hilton Serenity Day Spa for massages that Uncle Harry and Aunt Dru had booked for me, Em, Kendall, Jennifer, Aunt Dru, Jason and Ryan. My massage was divine and I actually had ankles afterward which were nice to see for the first time in almost a week.
After our massages, we got ready in the spa and headed to dinner at Seagar's which is located inside the Hilton. When I tell you that this dinner was incredible ... oh my God, it was absolutely divine.
Firstly, H and Drus had the kids taken care of so we were sans kids. And we were on strict instructions to spare no expense and eat like royalty. And so we did ...
Seafood towers consisting of steamed Alaskan King Crab Legs, Lobster and Shrimp; Crawfish Beignets; the most delicious salads, one of which the dressing was made tableside; bone-in filets cooked to perfection; grouper with a panko crust topped with a lemon and caper beurre blanc (quite possibly the best entree I've ever ordered at a restaurant); and finished with the most amazing banana's foster once again made tableside.
This dinner was insane it was so good. The only thing I regret is not being able to partake in the wine tasting, because we easily ordered over $1,000 in wine. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful treat and we are forever grateful for H and Drus ... two of the most generous people we've ever known.
