The Blues Cruise was in yesterday and we went out to Freedom City with Meredith and Jenna to have a quick dinner at the Blue Moon before heading over to the ballpark for the concert which had begun at 2 that afternoon. Taj Mahal was the headliner. What an awesome time we had!

Dinner was great! I had a stuffed portabello appetizer which contained spinach, salmon, and lots of other good stuff topped with cheese. I debated having the spinach and artichoke (or was it crab?) dip appetizer instead, but I lucked out and got to try both, since Michael wanted to try the dip and he also wanted the mixed greens salad topped with rare tuna. (I couldn’t have eaten very much, because I had had a large lunch in C’sted with the lovely and talented Nicole from Gems Direct.) Everything we had was yummy. Jenna had the shrimp scampi and Meredith had the Blue Moon chicken, which had some sort of amazing looking creamy sauce. Jenna wanted more of the Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc like we’d had the other night at King Crab night at Cane Bay, so she and I shared a bottle while Michael stuck with his Fat Papis and Meredith had H2O.

We were comfortably sated when we began our walk to the Paul E. Joseph Stadium and we got there juat as Coco Montoya was finishing up. During the break while Taj’s band was setting up, we got to visit with a bunch of our friends and catch up on the island melee.

It seemed like EVERYONE we knew was there and we had a blast chatting with them as well as many of the passengers from the ship. Sooo many people came up to us wanting to pet Goliath. We passed around our cards and told them to keep in touch and to be sure to come back to STX. One couple said that of all the stops they had made on this cruise, STX was BY FAR the best, so they promised to return. Cool!

Taj Mahal was fabulous and even though the blues is nowhere near my favorite type of music, he had me dancing around with Michael and Biggie. We got to talk to Amanda and Carsten (aka Marvella and Pookie) about sailing in the around STX race this week-end. It’ll be great to be out on the water for two full days!! I am sooo psyched. It’s becoming and exceptional week !!
