My Intended and I took a 24 hour vacation to nearby Hilton Head Island this weekend. We checked in to one of the many inns in the area...
The complementary breakfast wasn't half-bad. Enough food for the day, right? Not hardly.
If you go to a beach resort town, you got to go to the beach, right?
For lunch, we indulged in some wings at a sports bar. Yum.
The big treat of the weekend was a night of jazz and fine food and adult beverages at The Jazz Corner. We decided to scout the place out in advance of our evening arrival.
You can't make music without instruments. They told us we'd be right up front, and we were. The company, food and music were all outstanding. Young jazz phenom Grace Kelly (no, not THAT Grace Kelly), and the Bob Alberti trio played two great sets. She's only 18 years old, and has at least two c.d.s out. We bought her 2008 effort, and she was gracious (well, you knew that was coming, right?) enough to sign it. See? There we are:
I filmed a twenty or second snippet from the show. She was really good. Here's a Sampling from YouTube, if you want to hear more.

Good times! Hey, what's that drink Lady Di is palming? Sure looks like a gimlet to me :)
Close, Star. 'Twas a gin and tonic (w/Bombay Saphire gin, no less).
Ah, Gin and Tonic, the only drink that is on every planet in the universe. Don't believe me, check out your Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!
And SuperD, that's just wrong showing them wangs after I just swore 'em off again until June 7! Just plain wrong!
Don't worry, Ange, they weren't that great (okay, they were, but you can eat 'em again in a coupla months and they'll taste even better!).
I recognized that gin and tonic right away, that will be the featured drink in June when you two come to michigan!
Looking forward to it, Jenny!
