Destin fun

We had another fun weekend in Destin. For once it was dry with just a few afternoon thunderstorms around but no monsoons. Thursday night I went out to Landshark Pizza. I talked to Brian about our upcoming party on September 1st. We are calling it our “ETC at LP” party. (Embrace the Chaos! at Landshark Pizza) Everyone is welcome as Jan Patton will be playing Trop Rock music. Brian will have food and drink specials. This is Labor Day weekend and it will be a lot of fun. Come out to Landshark Pizza on Sunday September 1st from 1-5 pm and party with us.

Friday was a fun day. I met Sunshine Cindy for lunch at Friday’s. Friday night we hit the harbor. We started at the Monkey Bar. JB was playing. We listened to JB for a while and talked to Tami. We left there and headed to the Tipsy Turtle. Julie as there as was Mike and his new bride Tony. Matt was behind the bar. We had a fun time people watching. Julie got some food from Sinkin’ Weenie and the Turtle stayed busy. Kenny and Leanna showed up so it was then officially a party.

As things were winding down Julie headed home but Sunshine Cindy and I joined Kenny and Leanna at The Boathouse. Ken was there with his dog “Baby Girl.” She is a Great Dane and is the size of a small horse. We started talking to Jeff and some other locals. Turns out Jeff also has a Mustang. We talked about our cars. Then Sunshine Cindy saw a guy with a Sloppy Joe’s tee shirt on. So she had to ask him how often he gets to Key West. He and his wife were heading there this week. They have a second house around MM25. They were a nice couple having a lot of fun at The Boathouse.

Saturday was moving day for Cindy’s daughter so of course mom had to help set up stuff at her new place. They went at it till early in the evening. I went to Landshark and they joined me there so I could get them some food. I have never seen Landshark so busy. They had carry out orders of 7 and 8 pizza’s going out the door at one time. All the tables were filled and then the bar filled up too. Sue and the staff were running themselves ragged. But we enjoyed our food and the cold beer! LOL

Sunday I got up and took a nice long bike ride. It was humid and I was soaked through by the time I got back home. I wanted to find where the new Italian restaurant Mimmo’s is. Turns out it is right next to Another Broken Egg café. We will have to give this new place a try. Sunday was Sunshine Cindy’s Mom’s birthday. Friday’s is her favorite place so we went there for lunch. After lunch we went back to Tiff’s new place to help her break it in with cupcakes and beer! A great combo.

Sunshine Cindy and I headed home but made a stop at Sago Sports bar. We first sat inside talking to Steve. He is a local we see there all the time. We then went to the outside bar where Paris was working. She is new having just relocated to Destin from Colorado. Some tourist from Cincinnati were at the bar. They were a lot of fun but then everyone has fun on vacation. We got to talk to Tommy for a while. We are planning a Crab Island Mambo “Football Kickoff” party on Friday August 23rd. We are finalizing the party plans but we will have a contest where people can pull teams out of a hat with the hope they win the Super Bowl and the person with the winning team will win the pot. I will have more details soon!

Get out and have a great week. See ya Thursday!
