Post Wedding

The whirlwind few days Sunshine Cindy and I have recently had are slowing down. Monday we got the balance of the items we rented back to the rental place. Monday night we wanted a nice quiet dinner. We went back to the harbor and stopped in at La Familia in Harborwalk Village. We have ate at the original La Familia up the road but this was our first visit to the new place. We liked it. We sat on the big deck overlooking the Destin Bridge and East Pass. Tony waited on us. We remember him from the original location. The food was as good as always. It was a nice relaxing evening after a hectic few days.

We left there and headed to Landshark Pizza for a few beers. Brian, Sue, Jason and Haley were working. Everyone greeted us and told us how much they enjoyed the wedding. B was there and told us he was sorry he had to miss it but he ended up having to go to Georgia on Saturday. We thanked him again for the paper products he gave us. Just after we got there a carry out order was called in for 11 pizza’s and some number of wings. The guys were kept busy with all those pies! Music bingo was starting. We had not planned to stay but we ended up playing both games. It’s a lot of fun.

Tuesday we went to Sunshine Cindy’s parents house. Her cousin and her boyfriend were still in town. We picked them up and we all went over together. It was a relaxing day. We sat on the dock for almost two hours talking and soaking up some sun. We had a nice visit with everyone.

Jeff and Robbin

Wednesday night we met up with our friends from Milwaukee, Jeff and Robbin. They are sharing a condo for the week with Judie and Kelly. We all met up at Harry T’s for Happy Hour. Wayne also joined us. When this crew gets together it is always a lot of fun. You never know what will be said. We had our drinks and walked over to Fisherman’s Wharf for dinner. We sat on the outside patio. A nice breeze was blowing. It was a perfect evening with great friends.

I had their Mahi sandwich and Sunshine Cindy had a Grouper sandwich. The food there is always good. We were cutting up and joking around having a good time. They were ready to close down by the time we left. One of the servers said we were having so much fun he wanted to join us! LOL We made one more stop at Margaritaville before calling it a night.

Some of our friends at the wedding

A couple of new places have recently opened in the area. Down on the harbor district of Hwy. 98 Uncle Bucks BBQ joint opened. They must be doing something right as they ran out of food the other day. We will have to check it out. The new Jimmy John’s sandwich joint opened in the Winn Dixie plaza. Also on the island, the new Holiday Inn Express opened this week. It is between the Sheraton and Waterscape. I hope they have done something about the flooding that happens on Hwy. 98 where their driveway is. That is a bad spot.

It’s a big holiday weekend. We have an annual party to attend on Saturday that is always a blast. Sunday we have a Crab Island Mambo party with Landshark Pizza. Jan Patton will be playing music from 1-5 pm. There will be a crawfish boil and a hot wing eating contest after the music. We hope to see all of our friends on Sunday at Landshark Pizza in the Old Time Pottery Shopping Center. Here is a link to all the weekend fun: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Weekend-Update.html

Have a safe weekend and don’t forget to thank a Veteran or active duty service member as they are the reason we can do what we do. See ya Monday!
