Chillin' in Grand Cayman

To celebrate the end of summer, we headed to Grand Cayman for a long weekend.  

It was a very low-key trip meant for relaxation, so we didn't set out for any huge foodie finds.  Most days we would split a sandwich at the pool bar.

But the hotel lobby had a lovely magazine filled with the scoop on the amazing culinary delights the island has to offer.

So we did motivate to try two places.  Blue Cilantro received rave reviews because of their famed chef, so we checked it out one rainy evening.  We didn't bring cameras, but the food and atmosphere were every bit worth the walk down the road.

Lucky for us, the other restaurant we wanted to try was part of our hotel!  Hemingways is known for its great cuisine and live music on weekends.  So we got a seat right by the band and enjoyed the island sounds while watching the lightning of a thunderstorm over the ocean.  Ultimate relaxation!
