Hall's Chophouse

Welcome to Hall's Chophouse!  

My mother came to town to celebrate my white coat ceremony, which represents the graduation in dental school from classes to clinics.  This calls for a feast, off we go to Hall's.









This is our buddy Darryl, we became fast friends.



Our plates have arrived; lamb chops, scallops, and fillet.



That's a thumbs up from mom!








The food was incredible and we were so stuffed.



Dessert?  We just couldn't, not right now anyway.  But we did take a peek. 



On our way out, we took in all of the life and beauty of the restaurant.  Look at how inviting the space is...



This nook by the stairs seems like a great place to enjoy a private dinner for two...



You would have your very own bartender at your service...



Darryl made sure our dinner was perfect.





You can only imagine how beautiful this live music was.


Owner, Mr. Billy Hall, heard we were too full to enjoy a little dessert and kindly sent an incredible slice of cake home with us.  He didn't want us to miss out, which we would have because it was delicous!


Carrot Cake!

It didn't take long for the three of us to dive in once we returned home.










Lastly, I played dress up in a little white coat and enjoyed the moment with one proud momma!

Dancing Selfie Sailor Monkeys

Miss Kate and Mr. Clay joined us for a great day on the water.  












Kate's top is from here:







I am loving my new bikini top from Nasty Gal (currently sold out there so you can find it at Chromat). The top may come back at Nasty Gal, so keep an eye out for it here:


















All was "swell" until we both lost each of our favorite hats.  My fedora and Mark's Bert's Market hat  blew out into the "drink," as Mark calls it.  It is difficult to stop a sailboat whilst sailing, especially if it's just to save a couple of hats.


So what did we do?  We found some new hats...


Clay kept an eye out for us and kept the sailing steady.


Kate and I continued our selfies...




These two wanted in on the paparazzi action.


Then, this happened.  Why?  A better question is why not?  The front of the boat is made to be monkeyed around on...






"Kate, let's rock the boat!"  
It seems she thinks this is a bad idea and wants out...  


However, if she is afraid I am totally clueless and continue to egg her on...



Finally, we are synchronized...



Whoops, not for long!




Look ma, no hands!...






The music played and we danced along.  My gifs (moving pics) haven't cooperated too well with the waves rocking the bow, so you'll have to view the majority of these pictures in slow motion.  














As we danced, selfied, and monkeyed these boys did all of the work.



Kate did take a break and help a little...











Headed out to dinner by dinghy to California Dreaming...



This sad sailor scares me every time we pass by, yikes...









Dinner was great and on the ride home half of us were already asleep...



Good night!
