Shrimp Festival

This past weekend I attended my first ever Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach, Florida. There was a lot of fun, sun, and food! During the festival there were pirates everywhere! They "invaded" on the first night, then they stuck around for the fun! If you look to the left of this picture you'll see a strapping Jack Sparrow look-a-like who had just grabbed some food! :-)

Speaking of food...there was So. Much. Food!

The Hubster and I tried a bunch of different things!

 This was our first attempt...we got some grilled shrimp, corn, and sausage. It was pretty good!

I'm not a huge fan of fried food, but I did eat some..I mean I was at a SHRIMP festival, what kind of person would I be if I didn't have some fried shrimp? :-)

Now on to our respective favorites...mine was fresh squeezed lemonade! SO YUMMY! :-)

Now on to the Hubster's favorite...not quite as "healthy" as mine...but equally delicious to him :-)

FRIED OREOS

I have never tried them and just couldn't bring myself to eat them. I'm not a huge oreo fan, and frying them didn't make them any more appealing to me. That's okay though..Hubster at enough for the both of us :-) He was like a little kid, he couldn't get enough!

We took the dogs along for the ride...they had it easy, hanging out in their little stroller the whole time. Yes, stroller. If you read my What I'm Loving Wednesday post from yesterday {you can find it here} then you've been clued in to the fact that the Hubster and I treat our dogs like our babies...literally! hehe

They were truly a sight to see :-) Everyone wanted to stop and pet them, we made lots of new friends this weekend!

Here are my cute in-laws :-)

They go to the Shrimp Festival every year and have been going forever!

It was such a fun weekend, it was made even better by the Hubster's best friends arrival! He brought along his girlfriend and we all had such a fun time together!

Aren't they just too cute in their MATCHING outfits? hehe! It was actually an accident, but I think they look cute regardless! We went to the second day of the festival with them, and then played putt putt that night...sadly I didn't have my camera...I'll let you guess who won. Let's just say that the boys were NOT happy! ;-)

Here we are after the festival...both red as lobsters! But we had such a fun time it was worth it!
