Night on the town

You can imagine a bit of anxiety that brews in me with the crowds.  Are we really going to drive all the back in there... 10 mile drive give or take.. and deal with those crowds again?  It reminded me of why I stay away from NJ in the summer and why I cringe at the arrival of cruise ships in Bermuda.  We decided to wait a bit and let the crowds die down.  I mean they would die down right?  People surely wouldnt sit out and watch the air show all afternoon and still be out there?  Wouldn't they go back and shower and rest somewhere?  And what about all those kids?  They cant still be out.  It is getting late. 
Well not that late.  It was still light out.  And when we pulled out of the hotel only to see a lone fighter plane in thes sky, KP and I had the same reaction.. OH NO, they can't still be flying, can they?  Phew they weren't.
And we were able to find parking in the little lot again and things were good.  OK it was a bit crowded and we needed to pick up some trinkets.  But overall, things were good.  The other nagging in the back of our minds was our attire.  We wanted to check out a rooftop bar.  The manager of our hotel said it was a nicer atmosphere.  A no jeans type of place.  Well that may be what they tell her to say but let me tell you there were all walks in that rooftop bar.

There were kids in prom dresses and tuxedos.  We wondered if they were even old enough to be in a bar.  I know I am older and the kids are older even though I think they look young.  But why would so many of the guys be in tuxs?  And they did look mighty young.
Then there was the group of older women in their tennis shoes and hiking boots and jeans.  And here KP and I were nervous about our fancy jeans and capri pants.  Go figure.
We got a seat at the corner of the bar.  We could people watch, sunset watch, and order our drinks with ease.  **sigh** no Goslings at the Pavillion Bar...  "Sounds like the lady is looking for a Dark 'n Stormy" said the bartender.  But alas he had neither ingredients so I opted for a Mango Mojito instead.
We had some guys come up and talk to us given our "prime real estate" at the corner of the bar.  They were rather interesting to talk to.  And either the one guy hand done some incredible research as to what line he was going to use while on his guys weekend...  or he really was a founder of ciao bella... ICE CREAM!!!

There's a cookbook coming out too in May but in an effort to not undo all the good of the other blogs...  I will not be buying a copy.  That ice cream maker in the bottom of my pantry can be dangerous.
We ended up eating a lobster and scallop ceviche at the bar.  I am used to the shrimp and fish version.  As you can imagine little chunks of lobsters and slices of scallops were far more appealing.
From there we walked around again and given the power of suggestion... went and had some ice cream.
