The Naples Princess is still running strong!  May 15th 1999, man we had a great day and night with our loved ones and friends!

William (my favorite 9 year old Nephew) and I also spent some quality time together....

Blake, Trey and Hillary just got flashed, whoops!

Not sure who drives this truck, deep in the heart of FLORIDA!!!!

And now for the big event!  Mike and Jeff did a GREAT job getting ready for the pre-game tailgate!

Just getting underway!

Come on guys, cheer up.  Life is good!!!!!!

This guy rode around on his "bike" with his pet parrot Spike.  It was a crowd pleaser.

Not too sure where this party patron was heading, but she was moving quick!

Jeff being the only single guy there, got lots of attention.  His Brother & Cousin had nothing to do with it!!!

It never stopped, when someone needed French's mustard, Jeff got a French Kiss!!

And later he was squished by some cowgirls!  Don't think Jeff minded!!

Here is the entire Buffett 2005 Crew!!  Man we had fun.  Wish we could have partied longer before the show!

Jeff just couldn't wait! 

Mitch liked that 1800! 

The French Chef Michele (a.k.a Michael) cooked up some great dogs and burgers for all!!!!

Mitch, where are your colors??  -- Go Gators!

No, we were not having fun, nor did we have any alcoholic beverages.  Just tea and cokes!

Gary & his Tampa party crew!  We had a blast together!!!!

This is a little racy, but I'm just reporting on the event as it happened!

Tried to take a photo of the stage minus the flash, no luck.

The camera was supposed to be auto focus, but it didn't seem to work...

That's Jimmy right in the middle.  It was a very simple stage, but the Coral Reefer Band sounded wonderful!!

OK, we've had a beer or two by now!!!

I think we are having a good time!!

We had pretty good seats after making a few adjustments!

Later in the night, Jeff and I met up with Allison and Wayne.  We had a short but nice visit!

Alternate modes of transportation abounded in Tampa.  Not sure why!!!

Then it was time to go home.  It was a beautiful morning to wake up and see all the snow!

But quite a contrast to the wonderful temperatures down in Florida!!!

Yes, it was my turn to shovel the snow.  Kim did it the last three snowstorms....

This is the snowman the kids next door built!  Nice work!!

A shot of the house & sidewalk in the hood...

Buffett 2005 was a HUGE success.  Mike and Jeff promise to bring their A game to the next show.  I my opinion, they already brought an A + game but they tell me they can do better.  It was great visiting with everyone and I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon.
