A Very Niece Visit

It has been a wild couple of weeks for us in southwest Florida.  Seems like all the northerns want to flock down here and get out of the snow and cold and we LOVE it.  My nieces finally came down for a visit and we had a great time.

Our first nite we headed over to Sandy Hook on Matlacha.  We tried two other establishments before we finally found a table that Thursday nite.  Doesn't anybody cook anymore?

Friday morning Ellen specifically requested a stop at the world famous Waffle House so we could sit at the counter with the locals.  The pecan waffle I had was excellent and CeCi served great coffee.  Good call Ellen! 

Because it was slightly cooler than normal we saw lots of manatees at the manatee park where the water is warmer and the manatees love to gather.  


After the manatee park, we headed for a boat ride in Naples hoping to find rich bachelors for these two so we have a mansion to visit.  At least we  saw some dolphins playing by the boat. 


Louise decided that  antifreeze drink would be a good idea since she had to head back to Minnesota in a few days.  She looks happy at Tin City in Naples.  Who doesn't love a little antifreeze to keep you going?

And since we were not successful finding any menfolk in Naples, Louise started following this guy on Fort Myers Beach.  I think she forgot there was a person attached to the artwork.

I just thought this was a cool picture of a guy and his dog paddle boarding around Saturday. Very cute and the dog wasn't bad either.
Sunday morning we even had time for a round of golf.  Of course Ellen beat everyone there.  Show off.


We had a very visit with Mary and Pat at our new Ford's Garage Restaurant in Cape Coral.

Quick stop at Ford & Edison Estates with the girls.  They are as pretty as the flowers there.

My nieces are both young professionals who live in the Minneapolis area and when I say we had the best time, I am not just saying that.  Its good to spend time with young people once in a while.  It can be hard to keep up.  But we packed in as much as we could in a short time and while it may take us some time to recover it was well worth it.  I just hope they come back and keep looking for those rich bachelors.  Its the only way I'm ever going to be welcome in a mansion in Naples without having to clean it.  Margaret

  1. Margaret we had a great time too, probably wouldn't have been as great if we didn't get introduced to CeCi but great nonetheless. We will be back soon. Much love!
