Mambo

We ventured out for dinner one night by walking up the beach to a restaurant called Mambo. We got there at 5:30 and were informed that they don’t serve dinner until 6:30. We didn’t want to go home, so we just killed an hour — first we enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the beach (and Bruce and Finn utilized the hammock).

Amy took Ezra out on Mambo’s dock where they saw a huge stingray. Here’s Ezra showing me how big it was.

After a while, Bruce took Ezra and Finn inside for a variety of activities including playing pool.

Finally, it was time for dinner. The boys had pasta and didn’t end up eating much (they had filled their bellies with vast quantities of orange juice instead), but they thoroughly enjoyed sprinkling their entrees with parmesan cheese.

When we were done with dinner, it was pitch-dark and we took up the restaurant’s offer to take us home in their boat. I admit to being slightly terrified by the fast boat ride in the dark. The boat dropped us off at the dock before ours because the water is too shallow at our dock, which meant that we still had a little walk home in the dark. Luckily, Jamma had thought to bring flashlights (she is no rookie) but it was still an exciting walk, and we saw this guy on the way.
