IT WAS A GUANNABANA DAY

The sky was clear blue today. Temperature around eighty. Slight breeze and birds singing.  Just the sort of day where you couldn't bear to be inside. And because it was Sunday Kent and Kristen were off so they made a road trip to grandma and grandpa's. Smith fell asleep in the car on the way up so he was in good spirits and all the adults were HUNGRY!  A perfect day for Guannabamas. (Gwa-NA-bon-ahs).
If you have visited with us for any length of time you already know about the restaurant in the jungle but for the rest of you let me tell you about one of my favorite spots.
The place opened about 6 years ago and we kept hearing about this new restaurant that was all outside under the trees along the Loxahachee River. It took us about 3years to get up the interest to give it a try and then it took us several months to actually find it. If not for the traffic cones that they put in the street we would still be driving around searching for it. It has no parking so you drive in a circular drive under the trees and hand your car over to the valet. Then it is a walk along the wooden board walk to the tiki hut to sign in and wait for your table.  There are high top tables to sit at if you don't care to wait but getting a table right on the river is worth the wait.
Today was Kent and family's first trip there and we had the best table in the jungle. Smith got to play with the lizards climbing on the wall as we watched all the boats and paddle boarders float by. Kristen was delighted with the place and decided she could spend a day sitting there enjoying the scenery.  The food is good. I happen to like it a lot. Ger not so much. Today Kent had a burger and Kristen and I had delicious pulled pork sandwiches. Smith seemed to enjoy his hot dog. Personally I could be eating dog food and wouldn't mind in the least because the location is everything. It was a wonderful start to the day.
When we go back home we all headed to the heated pool to let Smith demonstrate his swimming skills.  The boy is a fish and can jump off the edge of the pool and swim, kicking and stroking his way half way across the pool.  Move over  it cousins, Smith will keep up with you in the pool!
Grandpa has been in bed for 3 hours and I am about to fall asleep any second. It was a super good day!
