Travels of Mark and Pat: Thursday

Gorgeous day in Stuart.....we enjoyed muffins (blueberry and cinnamon), fresh fruit (raspberries and blueberries) and fresh-squeezed oj left outside our door. We had a leisurely morning and then walked down Colorado and found "So Unique" a wonderful boutique that had moved to new location from when we were here last time (2 years ago). Did some retail damage here and then back downtown.
Got a phone call from Steven, owner of The Old Colorado Inn asking how our stay was, thanking us for staying and please come again! How special was that? Steven and Ashley have 7 children (5 girls and 2 boys) - when I was here 4 years ago, there was a large family picture in the lobby and all were dressed in white. Now, they have a more current picture all dressed in blue - so neat.
they definitely have a good thing going with their charming inn which is in the heart of downtown Stuart.. Steven is also an attorney, Yesterday, when we checked in, Debbie welcomed us and gave us a little tour of the inn which was built in 1914 as the Coventry Hotel - a lot of history here!!!

We had coffee/latte at the Stuart Coffee Co., and while Mark sat with his I-pad, I browsed a few more shops. We had lunch at Luna - (one slice of pizza each).....good place you can walk up to on the sidewalk.

And then we were off to Okeechobee and settled in our hotel. We met our RV friends at Water's Edge for happy hour under the Tiki....so much fun and met several new residents who are there for a week or the whole winter season, Everyone brought an appetizer and just a great time with these fun friends! Said our good byes and hoping to see Joyce and Butch in IL (maybe Kamp Komfort in April or May) and some of the others in Fort Myers in March.

Michael and Ryan are skiing this week in Whistler, BC.....
