Frankie’s (Oceanside)

**** No food in this one, so perhaps you'd like to return tomorrow!

I'm just going to a short post for this evening. We had enjoyed our staycation at the Lafayette so much, that we decided to finally get to some of those places on my "list". We stayed one night in Carlsbad and one night in Oceanside. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy those cities and not have to worry about transportation and such.

On our second night, we stayed in the downtown area, near Highway 101.

We had some time to stroll around before our dinner reservations and I had a place we just needed to check out. A cocktail bar. 

Just because of you know why. We lost Frankie in August of 2021 and just like Sammy we think and talk about him everyday. So, when I heard about a cocktail bar named Frankie's….

The bar was pretty busy on a Friday afternoon. The one bartender was hustling. Many of the patrons seemed to know one another.

There was a nice variety of $10 Happy Hour cocktails.

The Missus got the Paleta and I got the Georgia Sunshine. Decent cocktails, not watered down, not overly sweet.

We got a table streetside and the Missus and I made a toast to our boy…..

And when we looked up!

Whoa! Rainbows are a rarity here in the San Diego area. It had been raining the night before and a bit during the day, but still…. Folks were actually walking out of shops to the sidewalk to take photos of the rainbow!

And it looked like it even progressed to a double rainbow of sorts.

And when I looked down at my napkin!

We used to call Frankie "F" and "Effy"……

Of course, this is probably wishful thinking…..but just like Sammy's cloud, we like to think that F sent us a little message…..

I'm certain that we'll be visiting Frankie's whenever we stay in Oceanside. We miss you Frankie!

Thanks for visiting and I'll get those staycation posts done soon!
