Thursday we left work at lunch to catch our flight and were in Naples in time for a great Italian dinner at a place called Pagelli's. You've got to like that! Friday we got up and got ready for a beach day. My grandparents' condo is in Pebble Creek, a community within Pelican Bay, which means the amenities and service are amazing. To get to the beach, you catch a tram that takes you along the berm where there are alligators and birds a plenty. Then the tram takes you on the boardwalk through the mangrove forest to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. I'm ten years older than the first time I rode the tram to the Pelican Bay beach, but the fun of it has never waned!
Friday night my grandparents took us to see the famous Naples Pier and then we had dinner at a great place on the water called Riverside.
Lastly, Sunday was not the best beach day, but still fun nonetheless. We checked out another beach within Pelican Bay where Clam Pass connects the waterways to the Gulf. In the afternoon we went to see the movie "Date Night". I'm super lame and left my camera Sunday night when we went to downtown Naples for dinner at Tommy Bahamas. Old Naples reminds me of cross between Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and Main Street in Santa Monica, very classy with white lights in all the trees, lots of great shops. Dinner at Tommy Bahama's was amazing. Jimmy and I both had tuna that we honestly think may be the best tuna we've ever had. So bummed I don't have a picture of it to salivate over...
Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa for such a wonderful weekend in Naples! Can't wait to get down there again next year!
