Bahama Breeze and Friends

 

We love motorcycles and we haven't been riding in quite awhile, so last weekend we decided to go for a bike ride instead of working. I heard of a restaurant chain a couple of different times on one of the blogs I read and I've been wanting to check it out. It's called Bahama Breeze and I found out there was one in Kissimmee, which is only about an hour from us going a backroads scenic route so we decided to check it out. We called Steve and Sasha, friends of ours we haven't seen in awhile and we decided to meet for lunch and a couple of drinks. Bahama Breeze has an island-inspired menu as well as a casual, tropical atmosphere. The food was good and we had a great time visiting with our friends. They have so much on the menu we wanted to try but we never got past the appetizers. We'll definitely have to go back again soon. Here's a photo Ellen took of Steve and Sasha when we were at Bahama Breeze. Aren't they an adorable couple?

Our friends, Jay and Kelly sold their house a couple of years ago and moved into their fifth wheel full-time at Tropical Palms RV Resort in Kissimmee. Since we were only a few miles from there we decided to ride by and visit with them for a little while. Kelly told us a few weeks ago they were having a Jimmy Buffett weekend out by the pool on Saturday so we thought that might be cool.
When we arrived they were already out by the pool and you could hear the band playing from the front entrance where we stopped to call them. This is the first time we've been here since they moved and we didn't know what lot they were staying in. We rode over to the pool area and Kelly met us outside. They had a great table by the pool near the band. Actually they were sitting at the bands table. There were only two members in the band so I guess technically they were a duo or a duet. How many members does it take to make a band anyway? They were good and we really enjoyed it. They have a poolside cafe that serves food and draft beer. A pitcher of beer by the pool and Jimmy Buffett? What more could you ask for on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Below are a couple of photos we took out by the pool.


After the pool party was over we rode down to Jay and Kelly's site with them on the golf cart. We grabbed a beer at their place and rode around the park on the golf cart checking it out. Tropical Palm is in a busy area of Kissimmee behind Old Town although you would never know it once you're in the park. Old Town is a theme park with food shopping, and carnival rides. Every Saturday night they have the most well know classic car cruise in the world. A classic rock n' roll band starts on the main stage at 7:00 PM (weather permitting) and the classic car cruise through Old Town begins at 8:30 PM.
While we were riding through the park on the golf cart these deer came out of the woods as we were driving by. We stopped and watched them for a while. Jay and Kelly said they come out just about every afternoon. What a treat that was.

It was beginning to get a little late so we rode back over to Jay and Kelly's fifth wheel and had the grand tour before leaving for home. They have a very nice fifth wheel. They enjoy this lifestyle so much they told us they didn't plan on buying another bricks and sticks house. We had such a wonderful time visiting with them. Thanks again Jay and Kelly for being such wonderful host.
We've got to get back to work. Until next time….
