Allan's Birthday Weekend and Charlie, the Chameleon!

It was a wonderful fall weather - I'm off - low key kind of weekend. It was also Allan's 39th plus birthday. We started the celebrating at one of our favorite local sea food places!

We love going to Waltz at John's Pass for their fresh-off-the-boat seafood. They usually have five or six fish entrees - and all in limited supply. So we go early! While we were there, all the fresh gulf shrimp was consumed! But we got some!

The grouper was amazing and Allan enjoyed the shrimp. We always order the smoked fish spread and the island rice n' peas and beach slaw. We finish off with key lime pie!

Allan enjoyed his beer and I indulged in a generous pour of wine.

Next up ...

Decadent chocolate birthday cake! Can't have too much chocolate. Although this cake is close. Very rich and gooey!

Happy birthday to you! And many more!

And his favorite and most unusual gift? Why, Charlie, the chameleon, of course!
