I got him an early birthday present of an air compressor he was needing for a garage re-modeling he is currently working on. But I was also able to surprise him with a temperature-controlled travel mug. It gets plugged into the car cigarette lighter and then one can set the temperature for either a hot drink or a cooler (i.e., room temperature) drink! Pretty nifty, huh?



But back to Joe's Crab Shack :=) We stuffed ourselves on three varieties of shrimp - coconut, grilled with pico de gallo, and then shrimp stuffed with crab. Afterwards, several of the servers gathered 'round and sang 'Happy Birthday' to him. They put a bib on his back that said " Let's Get Cracking". They also gave him two metal nutcracker things you use to crack crabs with and told him to walk around the restaurant cracking his "claws". If he stopped, they said they would start singing all over again! It was an absolute hoot and he was a really good sport about it!
For dessert, we had an apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream and caramel syrup. Yum...
