Famous People and Places


Sometimes it takes a reallllll long time to get off the island...




But who wants to leave anyway?


Except when wine is involved. Then it's probably worth the wait.
According to historians, this area is the birthplace of American wine, dating back to 1562. Now that's some old wine. After a long morning spent waiting in line for Florida Drivers Licenses, we enjoyed a tour of San Sebastian Winery and are now schooled in the 5 "S"s of wine tasting. Real pros.


We love our wine, but we love food more and could not help but be lured by the world famous restaurant (and I mean the whole the world was there) O'Steen's.


We arrived for dinner promptly at the hour of 2:30 and were seated by 5:00. This whole in the wall restaurant was featured on the Food Network and people drive from out of state and out of their mind to wait for one of eight tables. They even bring lawn chairs and tailgate "southern style" in the parking lot.
By the time we got seated Matt joined those that were of their mind.


After our brush with famous food, we met a real celebrity (one that was worth the hype) on the beach this morning. He said "Go Matt, Go Abbie, Go Hazel" as we ran by.
Okay not really, but Steve Young did say "hi" to us. Yeah, we're friends.
