Cocoa Beach - Anniversary Trip

A few highlights of our annual anniversary trip ... this year to Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Emeril's Orlando.

Emeril's restaurants are always our favorite, no matter where they are found.  Orlando, Atlanta, New Orleans and Las Vegas so far.


Our dinner:

Stephen



Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo



Roasted Grouper served with Brazilian fish stew with mussels, calamari, tomato and coconut milk, served over scallion rice pilaf




Emeril's Banana Cream Pie - graham cracker crust, caramel sauce and chocolate shavings




Amy



Braised Pork Cheek with Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Divers Sea Scallop with Tomato Marmalade

Grilled Swordfish with Chanterelles and Porcini Sauce served over Whipped Potatoes

Butterscotch Cheesecake - pecan crust, milk chocolate sauce with chantilly cream and chocolate triangles


Our wait staff surprised us with this as well!  (Chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and whipped cream).  It was a very delicious and fun night.




The Beach, of course.  Our favorite is the one less populated.  No offense, Humans!









Golf with Stephen and seeing some of native birds on the course.



















Happy 12th Anniversary to my wonderful husband!
