I had a wonderful two days with my brother this week. He was down here to pick up his mother-in-law's car to drive it back up to Marietta as she'll be moving in with Kathy and him at the end of the month. He stayed at my house this time though and it was fun having him here plus the dogs loved it!
He wanted to take me and my sister, Annie, out for dinner so we headed to his favorite place on John's Pass called "Walt's Shak". Walt's is unique and hidden way in the back of the Pass behind the shops and boardwalk...
It was just an old house so very small inside. They serve only FRESH fish and so they are only open 3 days a week from like 4pm until the food runs out and they're not kidding. Check out his sign, lol...
You get there too late and it'll be closed. He bought us all the appetizers which we loved.
The grouper cakes were to die for as was the fish spread and huge steamed shrimp. They also serve generous glasses of vino!
I don't drink very much anymore but the cabernet tasted good that night! Annie and I were full with the appetizers so we passed on dinner but Pete got the lightly fried grouper which he loves...
We had a great time talking and laughing and eating and drinking. A perfect dinner for 3 siblings!
We then walked on the boardwalk after dinner, reminiscing of the old days when it first opened and only the Friendly Fisherman's restaurant was there and a few shops. That's when I lived on Sunset Beach and Pete lived on St Pete Beach, back in the late 70's and early 80's. The pirate ship sat empty after doing its' sunset cruise I'm sure..
On the way driving home, there is a two story house near Annie's house that had a unique Christmas light display!
Is that a hoot!!! A martini on the 2nd floor, lol!
So fun time and so glad we got together to do it. Pete left this morning to drive back to Marietta and the house seems empty now!
