Spring Break is over in Destin

Last week was the last hurrah of 2018 Spring Break in Destin. And it was probably our busiest week of the season. Traffic was heavy, wait times were long and chaperones were busted for throwing house parties for underage kids. Two different house parties were busted. The cops came because of loud music. You would think if you were giving underage kids booze and pot you would at least try to keep it down a little so you don’t draw attention to yourself. SMH…

It was another busy week at our house. We had a paver walkway installed from the driveway to the pool. It looks awesome. All Good Construction did the work. We highly recommend them. While that was going in Sunshine Cindy went to Home Depot (We should own stock in them we go there so often right now!) and ordered a pallet of Marble stones. They come in about 60 pound bags and a pallet holds 75 bags. It was delivered on Friday and we had it put down by the end of the day. Well, those 75 bags didn’t go too far. So she ordered another 3 pallets.

It was raining Saturday morning so we couldn’t work. Plus Sunshine Cindy had to go visit with some relatives. In the afternoon the sun came out and the pallets got delivered. I managed to put down another half pallet of the stones.

Sunday we got another pallet and a half down. Next weekend we plan to get the last pallet down. The stones look great. We have them in the flower beds and a big area alongside the house where our pool pump equipment is located at. They are a white stone with some hint of grey and they contrast the house perfectly. Now if we can get the grass to start growing! LOL

Because of the house work we didn’t get out too much. I ran to Landshark Pizza on Friday to get us a pie after we called it a day. Brian was working the bar. Pops came in and we chatted for a while. On Saturday while it was raining I got a haircut. I was supposed to go to the harbor on Saturday evening for a bachelor party for Mike but by the time I was done working I was pooped so I relaxed at home.

Around town the new shops by Publix are open. Starbucks, Panera Bread and the auto parts store are all open.

I hear there is a new GM at Hogs Breath. The word I got is they are not doing locals cards anymore and they don’t plan to cater to the locals. If that’s true that would be a big mistake. I know several people have left there. I don’t know if this is the reason but it could be. We have not been there in a month or so. We need to get back and see what’s going on.

BT is back! BT Turner is back in town after being gone for the winter season. Hopefully he will be getting back to some of his old gigs soon. We love going to listen to him play.

The Emerald Coast Parrot Head club will be meeting this Friday at Royal Palm Grill for their Friday night beach bonfire. It should be a lot of fun as we “party with a purpose.” Mike and Brodie are having a pre-wedding reception this Saturday. We look forward to this as we love them both.

Have a great week. See ya next Monday with another recap of “Living and Playing in Destin.”
