Living and Playing in Destin

Sunshine Cindy and I had a kind of quiet few days even though we did get out for a little. Thursday night we stopped in at Chip’s to relax for a while after work. There were a few folks at the bar but that was about it. We reminded the bartender and the manager that the Parrot Heads were coming in on Friday and they needed to be ready for about 100 people that like to drink. The owner of the Brink and Spoon restaurant, which is part of Chip’s, was there. That seemed odd but we found out he was the guy who invested in Chip. Rumor has it Chip is not coming back. The Palms might have to take this space back over.

Friday night we were back at Chip’s for the meeting. I guess no one believed us when we told them about the number of people that would show up. They only had one bartender and two servers. They were being overwhelmed. More staff was called in but the damage was done. The kitchen could not keep up either. We still had a good time but the bar could have made a lot more money. The staff worked their butts off. Monica was waiting on us and took great care of us. The owner was falling all over himself apologizing. I hope Tommy and Damon can bring Sago back!

The new Jim and Betty...lol

On Saturday Sunshine Cindy and I only went out once. We did a brunch at The Pancakery. We have heard good things about this place that is tucked away in a strip center. Sunshine Cindy had an omelet, pancakes and hash browns that she loved. I had a special burger they make. It is half hot Italian Sausage and half ground beef made into a ½ pound patty. It was fantastic. There are not a lot of tables in the place and it gets filled up with tourist in the season but right now the locals can get in and enjoy it. We will be back.

That was about it for us on Saturday. We went back home and I worked on Crab Island Mambo stuff as we prepare for our June party in Put in Bay, Ohio.

Sunday we ran some errands. In the afternoon we decided to stop in at Landshark Pizza for a couple beers. What a change from last Sunday where the place was packed for the football game. This day there were 3 people there. A few minutes after we got there Alan and Jackie came in. As we were talking to them in walked Kenny and Becky. We grabbed a table and had a small party. Kenny and Becky had been out on the harbor. He said they were looking for us! LOL It was a fun time as we livened up the place.

We are starting to get some pollen in the air already. I washed Badass on Saturday and I could see the yellow film. I actually had the top down on Badass on Sunday. Spring is around the corner.

Have a great week. See ya Thursday!
