Typical Weekend in Destin

This has been a non-stop couple of days. I took a few days off from work to enjoy this fantastic weather we are having. Thursday morning I went to the harbor to drop off some T-Shirts to Steve at the Hawaiian Ice booth next to AJ’s. He is going to try and sell some for us. The harbor was packed and it was hard to find a spot to park at 11:30 am! I found a spot and dropped off the shirts. Steve thinks he will be able to sell some for us. We hope so. In the afternoon Sunshine Cindy and I went to Miller’s Ale House for lunch. We had not been there since the winter. We had a couple of bad experiences back then but decided to give it another try. They have a big outside covered patio. This time around everything went fine. Good food, cold beer with a good special (bucket of Bud Light for $7.95 on Thursday’s) and just a relaxing time. Thursday evening we spent it at our pool. It was a beautiful night. Talked to some neighbors and swam till we shriveled up. 

Red Snapper season in full swing

Friday we spent the afternoon back at the pool. Friday night we went back down to the harbor. We hit a new popcorn place that has all types of gourmet popcorn. We bought a big bag of regular popcorn for later. Over to the Crazy Lobster we went. We sat inside at the bar. Jesse took care of us. He is a good guy we have talked to over the years. I had my Abita beer and we split a burger. For a fish place they have great burgers. Walking back to the Tipsy Turtle we saw some of the charter boats come in. They were loaded down with Red Snapper. We stopped by Steve’s place and he told us he had just sold a T-Shirt. One day and he already sold one. Pretty cool.

At the Turtle we ended up with a big crowd. Wayne came by. Julie and a couple of her girlfriends who just flew into town came by. Then Judie and Kelly, Kenny, Jan, Dave and Marilyn all come by to party. Matt and Mindy were playing and Matt was behind the bar. We talked to Turtle about having Jeff Brewer come and play one night. It was determined July 21 would be the best night. Put it on your calendar. Jeff will come over from Panama City and play from 7-11 pm. We had a fun night. For some reason we were spilling beer tonight. Jan and Kenny got up on stage to do a couple of songs. There was fun on new table they have. I can’t describe it but it had something to do with a seesaw. Anyway, we had fun as usual.

Saturday we made a stop at Landshark Pizza in Destin. Owners Brian and Sue are great people who have a wonderful place that is a combination pizza/wing house and sports bar. It is a true locals spot. Sunshine Cindy had a ham and cheese sub while I had wings. The wings were dry with a blackened rub on them. They were huge and to die for! With ice cold glasses to hold cheap beer, you can't beat the place. In the evening we went to a party on Rocky Bayou. Neighbors of Sunshine Cindy's parents threw a party. It was fun as the house sits right on the water.

Sunday we loaded up BadAss and headed to the Turtle to try and sell some merchandise. SummerBreeze played and we had Julie and some of her friends from Chicago show up. We had another good time. Sami and Barry were there and they were the first ones to buy a couple of T-Shirts. We sold a few other things during the evening but being there with good friends was priceless. Even Kenny showed up for a bit.

Only one more day to work this week then it is time to have some fun...okay, more fun! See ya Thursday...
