Back from the Bahamas

Jesse and I just got back from spending a few days in the Bahamas with several couples from her work. We stayed at Atlantis on Paradise Island in Nassau. Other than my sinuses getting dried out on the last day causing me to get a great case of airplane ear during the landing in Atlanta it was a great trip. The hurricane that went past the week before scared quite a few people away so it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to get into all the restaurants and attractions without having to wait at all.

We were able to get 12 people into Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill with only 30 minuntes notice. Mesa Grill was by far the best meal we had there and that wasn't just because we got to meet Kevin Costner who was sitting at the table next to us. The food and atmosphere there was top notch. I can't say that about dinner at Casa D'angelo the night before. In addition to it taking an hour and a half to get our food, I've had better veal parmesan at the Macaroni Grill.

We were gone for the first frost of the year here in Lawrenceville but the plants in our garden tell the story. We had tried to put in a last crop of tomatoes about a month and a half ago but they're dead now. The cool weather crops are still doing great and I think a couple of our bell peppers might make it a little longer.
