Yesterday Ray and I went on one of our favorite dates. We walked to a local restaurant for an early dinner. Then we went on our daily walk on the Beach.
It is rare that we find a restaurant that consistently serves fresh, quality food and I must say that is our experience with "Barrier Jack's" restaurant. The small cozy atmosphere makes us feel almost like we are in our own dining room. We go early to beat the rush and sometimes we are the only customers throughout most of our meal. Ray get's his "beef fix" with their wonderful burgers and I usually order a dinner Caesar salad with fish. The salad is always fresh and the dressing tastes homemade. We always start with a bowl of their savory home made soup. Last night I had their dinner special - "Stuffed Flounder with "real" crab - delicious! I am not a restaurant reviewer, just a happy customer!
While walking on the beach, we noticed that the crowds are subsiding. Spring break activity is finally slowing down. I keep saying that I am going to take a camera with me to catch the interesting shots on the beach. We have seen wonderful "Sand Art" from visitors including castles, turtles and other beautiful designs. Our normal walkng route on our daily beach walk is to enter through Lori Wilson park and head south to exit on 4th St. North (sometimes we walk this in reverse).
We love Lori Wilson park. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful park right on the beach. One of our favorite stops on our walks is to watch the dogs play in the Dog Park at Lori Wilson. This always makes Ray smile to watch the happy dogs run and enjoy themselves. He misses his dogs (CB and Muggs) so much. They recently passed due to old age.
Another stop when we have time, is to sit on one of the benches that face the ocean on the Lori Wilson Board walk. Such a beautiful view! We can see cruise ships on the horizen and the NASA Cape. We enjoy the fresh air and sunshine so much. Sometimes I feel guilty sharing my experiences in "Paradise" with my northern friends and family while they struggle with ice and freezing weather!
