Mary and John Reno in Put in Bay
We ended up sitting in the bar area from about 6:15 to almost 10 pm. The food was good, the beer was cold and we got on a roll. By the time we were done we had come up with a preliminary plan that we will work to finalize over the next week or two. But it will be an over the top lineup of Trop Rock musical acts. The real good news about the night was traffic was okay when we headed home.
Friday was our monthly “Embrace the Chaos! Trop Rock Music Series at the Cantina” with John Reno performing for us. We had a great time as John put on a fantastic show. John’s wife Donna sat with us and was amazed at the view from the Cantina. About half way through the show we had to move John inside as a line of thunderstorms was heading our way. The storms hit with a vengeance. At least we were dry under the covering with only a few leaks we had to watch out for. A big crowd was at the Cantina enjoying John’s music.

Saturday was a rainy day in Destin. We stayed home till the mid afternoon. While we were at home I was able to get some Mambo work done. One thing about Saturday’s in Destin in the summer is that is the changeover day for the condo’s. We get a large crowd leaving Destin in the morning and a large crowd coming into town later. I heard a traffic report in the morning that said the traffic on the Mid-Bay bridge was backed up all the way across into Destin as folks tried to get out of town.
About 3 in the afternoon Sunshine Cindy and I decided to head to Landshark Pizza to hang out for a while and have some wings. Traffic was heavy on the back roads. When we got to Landshark and could see Hwy 98 it was a parking lot. With the rain no one was on the beach and everyone gets out on the roads plus you had the incoming crowd. It was slow going. Landshark had a nice crowd in there for the afternoon. Brian and Sue were working and the night crew was coming in. We stayed till about 6:30 and then headed for home. After we left they got real busy. It was their second busiest day in their history. Brian even went back to help out as they were so swamped. Good for them.
Yes, R.O. made it for the show too
Sunshine Cindy and I spent the evening on our back porch listening to Trop Rock music on the IPod. It was a relaxing evening. When we were at Landshark Brian told us about a special breakfast he was doing for the British Open Golf Tournament that was on early. So Sunday morning we were back at Landshark for a Cajun Omelet, Hash browns and Mimosa’s. It was really good. We were hungry and it hit the spot. We spent the rest of Sunday back at the house being bums. It felt good!
I did update the Crab Island Mambo “Happenings” page with events that will take place over the upcoming months. You can check it out here: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Happenings.html
Have a great week. See ya Thursday!
