Today I will write about our outing in July and that will catch us up until we meet this month which will be sunday nite at Leonardos 706. What a great time we had in july. Instead of going to a resturarant we decided to try a night of bowling with bowling food. We all met at the new alley called Splitz and it was great fun. The men were one team and the women the other. I have to say it was close on both games but I think the men won. It was fun watching how the men thought they were going to lose and then it was game on. THe food was ok. We had lots of snacky foods to try out. The bowling alley has great accomadations for groups if you are thinking about going. If you go as a group you can bowl by the hour or by the game. I think if we go again we will pay by the game hourly is kind of expensive and if yougo over your hour it is costly to finish your game. If you go as a group be sure and take the side with the couches as a waitress will take care of you and if you are on the other side they do not. Overall I think that all of us had a great time and will do this again it was fun to watch Rodger roll to the wall and jump up like nothing happened. I guess it was a good thing it didn't because we were all laughing so much we couldn't have helped him anyway. Hope if you have a group you will take the time to do something fun like this.

June at Bonefish Grill

Now that I have May done I suppose that I should get June and July done since we meet this Sunday for August. In June we went to the Bonefish Grill in Gainesville . This restaurant was an excellent choice for all of us. Several of us got there early and sat in the bar area. The drinks and appitiziers were wonderful and the service was excellent. After everybody arrived we were escorted into the dining area where we were greeted by a waitress and waiter who were very attentive to us. They were very helpful to all with what to order on the menu as some of us had never eaten there before along with keeping everyone happy during the evening. The price of the dishes are around average for the Gaineville area running from 12 to around 25 dollars a plate. After dinner several of us ordered different desserts and shared them around the table I don't think that there was anything that we did not like. If you are looking for a restaurant that has great food and great service this if definitely a place for you to try.

I have beem remiss in the fact that I have not blogged about our last 2 meals that we had so I am going to try and catch everyone up to date.
May we went to a resturant that has been around for a very long time. I can remember going there as a child with my parents. It is the Yearling resturant in Cross Creek where Margarie Rawlings lived. It is again out in the middle of nowhere (funny how we keep going to these places). It has beem reopened by a couple of guys that used to run rescue in this county. There is a wide range of food to be offered and there is plenty of it. Everyone had a large time as we were in the back of the resturant. Our waitress was wonderful with explaning everything on the menu and giving feedback as to what we should order. There were many different things ordered ranging from froglegs to steak. I had the froglegs and can say that they do not taste like chicken but were very good. Everyone enjoyed the food and the price was in the medium range plates ran from 15-25 dollars. If you go you should try the fried green tomates they are excellent. THe atmosphere is a little rustic and there was a two piece band playing old folk songs which was fun to listen to. They also have a full bar to serve you from. If you would like to go somewhere off the beaten path for a good florida cracker meal this is the place for you.
