On Friday night, we went to Louie’s Backyard with Cindy, who is a local friend. The restaurant was a complete surprise. It is a sophisticated, lovely restaurant. I guess we expected a bar-b-que joint. It was very nice inside but even nicer was the outside seating. We enjoyed the whole experience. It is a romantic restaurant and just hearing the water lapping around us just sets the mood.

The Hideaway, Grassy Key, Florida
For dinner on Day One of our Key West Tour, we went in search of something different. How about a French restaurant in the keys? We found the Hideaway Café on Grassy Key. First of all, it is hidden away.
Day 4 – A Free Day In Key West
The Authors Guesthouse has proven a fine place to relax in Key West. It’s close enough to town that everything is an easy bike or cab ride. But it’s far enough away that we are not disturbed by the hustle and bustle on the street, and we don’t hear any traffic noise. Both of us sleep well, and awaken to our first morning in Key West eager to explore the town.
Day 1 – Key Largo to Long Key
I feel it’s gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life
I feel it’s gonna rain for days and days, I feel it’s gonna rainFrom ‘Rain’ by Creed

Conflicted About Michael’s On East
We visited Michael’s on East for our anniversary because we heard it is one of the best (if not the best) restaurant in Sarasota. I have to say that the food is very good as is its wine list (definitely the best we have seen here so far). I made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance on Open Table. I even mentioned it was our anniversary.
It is hard to find Michael’s because unless someone tells you exactly where it is because you don’t know the front of the restaurant is the back of a mall. It is beside an aging atrium that needs to be updated.

Today, Mike and I ate lunch at Pier 22 on the Manatee River in Bradenton.
