Seastar Saturday night:
Seastar was having a birthday bash! It was an all white party and even the kids were dressed up nice!
The band was awesome and Sasanya went on stage for three songs!! She was a regular singer at the Saturday night show at Seastar and was outstanding!
During the party they had three performers doing a fire show!
I have videos of all this, but technical difficulties with uploading. Working on it!

Hey Happy,
I called CC and they said you had stopped by.
There are two set of glasses.
Precription and just some generic magnified sunglasses.
Please pick up both but give the sunglasses to someone that can use them.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Let me now how I can repay you.

Having a wonderful time here at Seastar and the West End!
Brittany is my server this morning.

Wicked thunder and lightening last night, but no rain!
Chilled yesterday afternoon at Seastar. Was in the pool three times.
Rob and I went to Xtabi for dinner and were seated right on the cliff.
Jenny was our server and did a excellent job keeping me and Rob Happy!
I had the stuffed chicken with Callao, Rob had the steak tips. It was delicious!
No lobster as it the season is closed.
Ashley got us back to Seastarfor a few cold red stripes. Lively crowd at the bar!
A couple of us headed over to CC’s later for a few more.
