Moore's Stone Carb Restaurant



We arrived at the dock of Moore’s Stone Crab restaurant around noon. After a cool refreshing drink at their bar we decided to tour the town. We walked to the highway where we took a long free trolley ride to see the town and all of its charm. With all of our sight seeing and hiking we had worked up quite an appetite and it was time to collect our Christmas gift from Keith, Merri and the kids. We choose a table with a view overlooking the surrounding bay and our boat!



Eating stone crab was a first for both of us and the experience was wonderful. They serve four different sized meals depending on your appetite. We choose a smaller one and left filled to the brim!



Our friends swimming along the boat



Later in the evening my nephew Rick Johnson came to the boat for a visit. I haven’t seen him for a long time and we all had a good time.



Tomorrow we will travel a short distance about 15 miles and tie up at Joan and Tom O’Brien’s home on Grand Canal off Roberts Bay in Siesta Key. Joan and Tom are long time friends of Barb when she lived in LaGrange, Illinois.
