Living in Destin

I think I can honestly say we just finished one of the best weeks of good weather we could possibly hope for in early December in Destin. Every day was in the mid 70’s with lows in the 60’s. I wish it would stay that way till spring and then warm up. LOL

Sunshine Cindy and I got out a little this weekend. Thursday night we went to Harry T’s for happy hour and to watch the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game. The game was good and the bar area stayed pretty full. Of course it’s always good when the Lightning win.

Ready for some hockey

When we left Harry T’s we saw the new outside bar up the harbor across from Hogs Breath called, “The Other End” was open. We pulled in to check it out. They have a great set up. There is an Airstream trailer that they use as a kitchen for cooking food. There are several decks that look out over the water. And they have tons of craft beers available. We sat down and started talking to the bartender Clay. It turns out he is the son of a friend of ours. I remember Clay from his days behind the bar at Hogs Breath. It was cool running into him again. We finished our drinks and headed home for the night.

Friday was a day for Sunshine Cindy and I to relax. We didn’t feel up to doing much although Sunshine Cindy did work on decorating the house for Christmas. We were supposed to meet some friends at the Legion but we were not up for it.

The Crust Pizzeria

Saturday we had a little more energy. In the afternoon we headed to The Crust Pizzeria to talk to the owner Charlie about his ad on our Crab Island Mambo web site. Charlie has some new specials for the season that we are getting posted on the web site. While there Sunshine Cindy and I both had one of their pasta dishes. They do a great job with the pasta. I could eat them every day! We enjoy going to The Crust.

When we left The Crust we decided to make a quick stop in at Hogs Breath. Rikki was working the outside bar. A good group of locals were there watching the Alabama football game. Hogs Breath has great football drink and food specials. We love sitting at the outside bar watching the world go by on Hwy 98. One of the locals there was actually at our Holiday Chaos party last week at KC’s. That was fun talking to him. About the time we were getting ready to leave Cajun Mike and Terry walked in so we had to stay a little longer. We still made it home kind of early as we wanted to keep charging our batteries.

We decided that Sunday we would head to Chips to watch the Browns football game. I wish I had not subjected myself to that torture. The Browns are real close to being a good team but the quarterback play is holding them back. It is frustrating watching them but it could have been worse. Tommy was there to watch the Saints and they got killed. After the game we stopped in at Landshark Pizza. As we walked we were greeted by Kenny and Becky. There were there having a pizza so we joined them. Then Alan and Jackie came in and joined us. It was a good time chatting with everyone. Jason was working our table and he was his usual funny self.

This weekend I published the Crab Island Mambo monthly recap. This is pictures of the Chaos we had in November. You can read it here: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/November-2014-Crab-Island-Mambo-recent-events.html

Have a great week. See ya Thursday!
