A fun meetup with bad pictures. {Boba winner announced}

*A quick note. Thank you everyone who commented last friday. I have to say half way through the day I wanted to remove the post, I was starting to feel I was making people feel bad. And that was not my intention. So many apologizes if that is how I am across.*

Friday night I picked up Em and we headed to Coco Beach to meet Lindsay and Danielle.

Let me take a second to describe the bar atmosphere.

I am going to say there was at least a 40 year age gap between us and everyone else there.

I could not stop staring and taking in all the snow birds.

It was clear that they were regulars.

And man did they have a lock down on the bar, not one of them moving an inch afraid someone

might snag their spot.

They all had their OWN glasses with them, from wine glasses with handmade little attached coasters to beer mugs.

It was a lot to take in, I loved every second of it.

Danielle, Lindsay {baby Jack the sweetest little dinner date ever} and Em.

Not sure what was up with taking pictures but it was a funny process. There was for sure some out takes.

I am pretty sure I will hear about this one. Ha. I find it funny to snap pics when people aren't ready, is that mean?!

Then we attempted a group shot. Um, yeah this was not working...

So while we waited 30 mins for our drinks to arrive, I went over to the table next to us where a cute older couple were having dinner. I asked polity "I hate to interrupt but would mind taking a picture of us?" Then I get the hand up to the ear, "HUH?!" Me a little louder "DO You MIND Taking A Picture OF Us?!" "HUH?!" and the wife looks confusingly at the husband. And he leans in to her and says "THEY WANT YOU TO TAKE THEIR PICTURE." She smiles. "Oh". I smirk and try not to laugh but it SOO reminds me of my grandparents and trying to have a conversation with them...

But she rocked the camera. Thanks little old lady.

So the pictures are not the greatest but the night sure was. It was so too short but it was so sweet to meet my friends. We had great conversation, no piercing or tattoos, but that can always be done next time.

I *heart* Toms.

I *heart* their mission.

I *heart* their shoes, when I say they are like slippers, I am not kidding.

Heaven on your feet.

Tomorrow Toms is hosting a One Day Without Shoes.

Its pretty amazing, I am joining and hope you will too.

Mine and Buggies sparkly Toms.

{and just maybe you will be able to win a pair for yourself here tomorrow, shh do not tell anyone, its between just you and me}

{side note I recently saw something that made me MAD. Sketchers has something they call Bobs which look exactly like Toms. And they promote two pairs per one bought going to children without shoes. I mean the concept should be done for sure, BUT to call them "BOBS" and have them look exactly the same is VERY tacky in my opinion. Thanks for letting me vent.}
