… of my favorite Mom’s 80th birthday this Sunday…
okay, okay ONLY Mom...but still favorite
My brother completely surprised us by flying down from NYC, and we all
headed further south to the Sundy house and Taru Gardens
in Delray Beach.
We had an amazing brunch among the tropical flora and fauna
Cool Mimosas and bloody Mary's flowed freely
Never left to get below half of a glass
After several courses of lovely delectables like smoked salmon and curried pasta...
florentine eggs benedict and Crepes bananas foster…
Mahi mahi and wood smoked pork
Oh....it just went on and on and on...
We took a break to stroll through the secret gardens
Where we stopped at the natural rock bottomed pool,
and dipped our toes in amongst the colorful small fish
dancing in the crisp water…
With Mimosas in hand we continued to wander through the acre garden…
...Back at our table for another round of tropical smogasboard...
Oy...I’m still full.
The food was spread out through many different parts of the historic Inn
Can’t think of a better place to celebrate 80 amazing years…
To many, many more….
and we’ll keep the mimosas flying!
okey dokey?

This place is wonderful!!! I never ever came across anything like that when I traveled in FL..., and I actually was in Delray beach! I just assume it's fairly new..., because I don't like the idea to having missed it (...six years ago).
Happy Birthday to your Mom! That photo of the coconut plam looks like a fmaous painting that I've been coveting for a while. DH and I will have to swing by the Sundy House soon. Thanks for the heads up about it!

Will have to check out this beautiful place...
Good to hear from you! Happy Birthday to mom! Sounds like a wonderful time....the food alone, yum...you made me hungry but of course, it's doesn't take much! We ate at Kelly McGinnis's place called Kelly's in Key West that her ex-husband actually owns now and this reminded me of it very much! Fun! Luanne
I. am. drooling!!!! What a treat for your mom. How about I call you when I turn 80, and we can celebrate the same way? :)
wow - she's amazing looking! so beautiful!!! 80 - wow!
you've got great genes. Happy Birthday Mom!
thanks for your comment, I LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom rocks, I can just look at her and tell, and she does *not* look 80, nor does she give off an 80's vibe. Hmm, I think i better start getting my recommended daily allowance of mimosa-er, I mean, magical youth dew elixir. ☺
(Hanging out in a place like that certainly couldnt hurt one's skin either! Gorgeous!)
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
