It was a 13 hour drive as we drove straight through. Needless to say we were wore out. I took one last day off from work on Tuesday to recover. The only thing I did was make a stop at Landshark Pizza in the afternoon. Brian was working. He had followed a lot of our exploits in the KW from our Facebook page. James also stopped in. Brian and James were planning for the upcoming “Blues, Brews and BBQ” event that will be held on Saturday on the harbor. Landshark won one of the divisions last year.
Landshark Pizza will be back to the festival this year
Jason came in to start his shift. He is a new proud papa. He has a beautiful baby girl. You can see how happy he is. Good for Jason!
Our friends Alan and Jackie are back in town for the winter. They got here last weekend. We have not seen them yet but we will soon. They are great folks and have become good friends. Welcome “home.”
There were big crowds last year
Only in Destin can a sign cause a ruckus. For a few weeks a sign was up and then gone on an empty lot next to Big Kahuna’s. The sign said the lot was going to be the future home of “GI Joe Amusement Park.” People were wondering what the sign was about. No one seemed to know.
It turns out the original developer of Big Kahuna’s, Max Brunner is buying the land with the intent to develop some type of amusement park. Now everyone in town is up in arms as Brunner is not the most respected person in the area. It will be interesting to see if this development will happen.
I have heard some rumblings that World of Beer will open in the Destin Commons December 8th. Sunshine Cindy and I visited the WOB in Key West and her daughter has gone to work at the WOB in Atlanta. If you are in Atlanta stop by the Mid-Town location and say hi to Tiffany.
World of Beer in Key West had a "cup of bacon"...Yep, I was in heaven
It was also just announced Whole Foods Market will open a location in the Destin Commons too. It seems like the Commons is getting a little of every type of retail outlet now.
While we were in Key West at our Crab Island Mambo Welcome to the Island Party, we held the drawing for our Phlocking of the Phaithful special raffle. We are pleased to announce Capt. John from Destin was the winner of the prize package. Congrats Capt! For registration information for the “21st Annual Phlocking of the Phaithful – 21 and Legal, Let the CHAOS Begin” here is the information. http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Crab-Island-Mambo-presents-Phlocking-of-the-Phaithful.html
