Drive on the left side of the road up the steepest hills and the curviest streets with no guardrail and finally, you get to the house. Oh, and then pull over and enter the code to get in the gate, where you have to drive up the steepest driveway I have ever seen.But the view from this beautiful house was INCREDIBLE…St Thomas with the Biltz family.
How do you like your sweet tea. SWEET. And not sugar coated. But, damn sweet HEAD!!!!
Accompanying Tim and Kelly blitz was their daughter Lisa and her Husband Will and their friend John with his wife Meredith. Oh… and Jenny and I. It was the 8 of us in St Thomas at the house that took 30 minutes to get to, but it sure was beautiful…and most importantly the grill worked perfect.
The first night was Will and Lisa’s first wedding anniversary. Not knowing that until our arrival, Jenny and I were excited to make it special, but we were a little unprepared. We made a baked brie in puff pastry and cut out the number one and baked it on top. To keep with the theme, we made cupcakes with a number one on them as well. The menu included Caesar Salad and crab mashed potatoes with grilled beef tenderloin and sautéed corn.
Other food highlights of the week:
Panko crusted grouper
Homemade onion dip
Fajita night
Sushi at the Rtiz
Prosciutto wrapped asparagus
Burger night
Key lime soup
Hangover crab cakes
Great people, delicious food, a beautiful view and huge iguanas…St Thomas with the Biltz family.
The drive was a little absurd but it was worth it. The 8 of us had such a blast and the food was "icing on the cake". Jen and Ben's ability to make everyone feel special and their remarkable desire to serve amazing food for all occasions was delightful. We met Jen and Ben in Nantucket where they helped us make Tim's 50th birthday a special time. We couldn't get over how delightful they were to be around and how amazing their service was. By the end of the Nantucket trip we were setting up future events because let’s face it, when you find great service and delightful people... you want to keep them around. Having them on the St. Thomas trip was like having your best friends travel with you. Jen and Ben's positive attitude and ability to adapt to all social environments makes them blend right in and gives you the feeling that you've known them your whole life. At the end of both vacations that they have worked for us, we all felt the same way; we felt we had an amazing time partly because of them and that we had made genuine lifelong friends.
