What a great week Sunshine Cindy and I just had. It was in many ways a typical week in Destin but we did get out more than normal. It started on Tuesday…Fat Tuesday. We went to The Boathouse to listen to BT. It was his first show of the season there. Bob and Carol, snowbirds from Iowa were there and joined us. We have met them at AJ’s Oyster Shanty a few times. They are fun folks. Sunshine Cindy and I had our goofy hats and boa’s on. We looked the part. We had a fun time but with work on Wednesday we could not stay out too late.
Wednesday evening we were invited to a fish fry at a friend’s house. Southern Drawl Band was in town and staying at our friends place. It was a perfect evening weather wise. The fish and food was outstanding. The guys played a few songs. All in all an enjoyable time.
Thursday they were playing at Crab Island Cantina. Over 100 people showed up to listen to the guys play. Corrine took great care of us. The music was fantastic, food and drinks flowed, friends like Steve and Becky came into town from Oklahoma just to hear the band and everyone had a blast. Before the show, Sunshine Cindy and I stopped in at Harry T’s for a few Happy Hour drinks. Steve and Becky saw we were there and they joined us. Red was busy behind the bar as snowbirds filled the place. It was a good way to warm up for the rest of the evening. We love partying with Southern Drawl Band. Check them out!!!
We kept things going on Friday. We got out to do some shopping. We have been wanting a new mattress and Friday was the day we finally got one. It gets delivered Tuesday. We can’t wait as our old mattress was lumpy and not comfortable. After buying the mattress we went to Best Buy to look at TV’s. Well, looking turned into buying. We got a new TV and sound bar to go along with it. After we got it home we went to look at furniture. No, we didn’t buy any more stuff but we got some good ideas.
By now it was close to dinner time. We went to the Commons and La Familia. We had a nice meal and had a chance to relax a little after fighting traffic all day. We saw Steve and Becky were at LuLu’s listening to BT. So after we ate we went there to hang out. Julie and Suzanne were there. Carolyn also showed up. At the table next to us was Steve and Nancy (BT’s parents) and our friends from Iowa, Bob and Carol. It was a fun time but we were tired from being out all day so we headed home a little before BT finished. Chaos was happy to see us!
Saturday morning we went to the new breakfast place next to Publix’s. It was okay but nothing to get too excited about. Asiago Skillet is still my favorite breakfast place in Destin. After a stop at Home Depot we headed home to work on getting the TV and Sound Bar hooked up.
The TV we bought was a Sony. The directions to set it up left a lot to be desired. We figured it out but it took a while. By the time we got the Sound Bar hooked up it was late. We decided to relax the rest of the evening. The Sound Bar has a sub-woofer. The sound from it is excellent. It sounds like there are other people in the house. LOL I watched the Tampa Bay Lightning game. They won and seeing it on the new TV was awesome.
And on Sunday we rested…mostly. I did take Chaos on her morning walk. Sunshine Cindy did some straightening up around the house. I got the Parrot Head event, “Tailgates Down…Phriends All Around” up on Eventbrite. I will have more info on the event in the coming weeks but make plans to join us May 20th at the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village in Destin for this all day party. It is only $25 per person for a full day of fun and music. Check out the Emerald Coast Parrot Head Facebook page for more details too! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tailgates-downphriends-all-around-tickets-32568153223
All the places around town that were closed for the season are back open including Gilligan’s which is open for the season. One other place we have been too a few times lately is Honey Baked Ham. It is over near Crystal Beach. They have great food. This has become one of our go-to places if we don’t want to cook but bring home something. Yum!
Okay, Spring Break is hitting full swing. Get out and enjoy all Destin has to offer. See ya next Monday!
