Wow. Are you going to Yachtmans Steakhouse twice! We went for the first time on our last trip in May and really enjoyed it. We will definately return there in the future although not on our upcoming October trip. We arrive on October 1st so will be just starting our trip while you are heading home. Can't wait.
