Well, today is our 46th wedding anniversary and we decided to go for an early dinner this afternoon but we couldn't decide where we wanted to go. We ended up at a casual seafood place along the intracoastal waterway in New Smyrna Beach called Dolphin View Restaurant which has been a favorite of ours for many years. Whenever we'd have our boat out on the water we'd call in for take out and dock at the restaurant long enough to pick it up, then we'd go anchor at a nearby island and eat lunch. We sold our boat last year so it was a little different perspective actually parking the car and eating at the restaurant but we got the same great views and the food was just as good as we remembered! We had a pleasant afternoon sitting out on the deck by the water, watching all the boats, a few paddle boarders, kayakers and sea birds. I took my camera in case we were to see Dolphins or Manatees in the water. A couple of dolphins did surface but I didn't manage to get any pictures ... they were out of sight before I could pick the camera up but I did manage to get some pictures of Pelicans, a Snowy Egret and a Seagull.
