We had visitors from Kansas City last weekend. Two separate sets.
When Tom and I were teaching ASA sailing on Lake Perry KS, Ben was one of our stellar ASA 101 graduates. He caught the sailing bug really bad - we LOVE when that happens. He is helping a buddy deliver his Irwin sailboat down the east coast. s/v Sweet Clarity happened to be in Brunswick Landing Marina awaiting their next adventure south. Steve (the owner), Ben, and three other guys flew in this past Saturday and took off Sunday morning for who knows where but somewhere in FL. Luckily we were able to spent a little bit of time with Ben and gang. Fun crew. But OMG - typical guy boat trip because provisioning consisted of massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) amounts of ribs from some local rib joint, equally impressive quantities of beer and....wait for it......a bulk supply of Slim Jim's. Scary. They had so many ribs they couldn't fit them all in so we were the recipient of a huge bundle - Thanks guys.
Sunday our niece and her family (minus oldest daughter who is spending the summer with relatives) stopped by for a visit. They are on holiday and have been all over Florida. The boys checked out the boat thoroughly (man! -are little kids active), we took a walk in the park and played with the musical instruments that are there and then chowed down on ribs (see above), grilled shrimp, corn on the cob, grilled chicken, hot dogs and baked beans - big feast!
