Coconuts

It is not often I find a lake establishment that surprises me as much as the one I was in a few weeks back. Coconuts Caribbean Beach Bar and Grill, located at the 7 MM on the Gravois arm, Coconuts offers a wide variety of amenities that will fit into anyone’s summer vacation outing.

Included in the amenities and activities are:
A first class Bar and Grill with a great menu of food and drink
A Pool with Swim Up Bar
Hot Tub
Beach Volley Ball
A Beach for kids
PWC Rentals
and more


A group of Usual Suspects picked a great day for a outing to Coconuts traversing from the 10 miles on personal water crafts (PWC). It was a great day for a ride as D. and D. G., S. and C. O. and Central Patti and myself left the condo to pick up T. and S M. for a leisurely ride to out destination.

Upon arrival we parked on some of the many floating PWC slips and made our way into the Beach Bar. The bar is an open air bar with ample seating and lots of fans in case the weather gets a little warm to sit and eat comfortably.

The menu contained a great selection of food and speciality drinks. I highly recommend any of the burgers as they are HUGE! The Jamican Jerked chicken wings were some of the best I have had on the lake.

After lunch we headed to the pool and the swim up bar. The weathe was perfect for this type of outing.



One of the things I particually like was the in pool pub tables


All in all it was a great day and Coconuts is a must stop for your summer Lake Outing.

Riding the Rails, Clickety Clack

A few weeks back we took the Amtrak from K.C. to Naperville Ill. and as usual we had a great time. If you have never taken the opportunity to travel by train you do not know what you are missing. I recommend for your first trip nothing over four hours just in case you may not enjoy train travel. Also this will keep the price at a minimum and I recommend choosing your travel dates that are not during the peek seasons. (From around June 15th to August 15th.) to avoid high ticket prices You will be pleasantly surprised by the size of the train cars and the size of the seats. The cars are two levels with the lower level where you put your luggage when boarding, handicap seating and the rest room/changing rooms. We generally sit in the club car (now called the observation car) where they have many booths and seats and then entire care is plexieglass so you can see the beautiful sites as you travel. You can even carry on your own food and drinks and yes this means you can carry on your own...

The Key West Cocktail Challenge

Image
Recently we were on the road with MySideOfTheBar in Key West with a couple of "Unusual Suspect" friends of ours. As you might expect we were in a bar when A.S. found a brochure for the Key West Cocktail Challenge. Also as you might expect we took up the challenge. The premise was easy, visit 6 participating bars, enjoy their signature cocktail and you get a T-Shirt. You can visit them in any order and take as long as you need to. (you could even do it in 6 days, but...) I am not going to try to describe each bar as you can follow the links to see and learn more. The first stop was The Green Parrot Bar . The Green Parrot is an open air old school bar that I absolutely loved. Their signature drink was Root Beer Barrel and at least two of us liked it ;) Stop two took us to Charlie Mac's and beside the great Signature Drink, it is also a BBQ joint. We only had the chicken wings, however they were awesome. The drink here was the Huckleberry Lemonade and I have to ...

A Spittoon and a Blanket

Yes, what I really meant was a chamber pot; however at one in the morning staging down the long dim hallway with the creaky wooden floors and facing the long stairway down to the bathroom spittoon was all I could think of. The evening started innocent enough as we were traversing the interstate from K.C. MO to NW Iowa for a visit. I did not have a drink until after 5:00 and I was not driving, but as usually I never went anywhere without my trusty ten shot flask. That day it was loaded with Buffalo Trace Bourbon. By the way it had been awhile since I had imbibed in Buffalo Trace and I had forgotten how good it was. We arrived at the farm and continued happy hour. As the night progressed I opened the new bottle of Four Roses (the official Bourbon of MySideOfTheBar) that Central Patti had purchased as part of a case and kept drinking throughout the night. As the night progressed and the bottle emptied we headed up the afore mentioned stairs and to bed. I woke a couple of hours later a...
