Spring has Sprung!

Spring has sprung in Destin. Okay, it has sprung all over the country but it is always a little more special here in Destin. We have had temps in the mid 70’s all week and the lows have only been in the mid 60’s. Yep, I love living here. I have heard from friends up north how warm it has been this week but don’t get too used to it. It will get cool again.

It has been a quiet week as work has kept me busy this week. We did get out to Friday’s in Destin Monday. For Spring Break being in full swing, Friday’s were pretty slow. I guess now that the snowbirds have left, their business is going to be down a little as the old blue hairs manned many of the bar stools for happy hour! Mama Mambo and I did run into Ruth from our Parrothead club. She is a nice lady who is a chili cooking champion. Other than talking to Ruth for a while we discussed ways to take Crab Island Mambo to the next level. We are still trying to figure it out. lol

We are excited about our First Saturday of Spring Beach Party we are having this Saturday. It will be on Okaloosa Island and it will be our way of showing the young Spring Breakers how to really have a beach party. We always have fun on the beach with our parties. Kenny usually brings a kayak. Everyone brings some snacks to share. There is usually a concoction or two floating around. And if we are lucky, Jan will break out his guitar. Come out and join us!

Spring Break traffic is a little crazy. A wreck on the Brooks Bridge into Ft. Walton Beach last evening had rush hour traffic backed up half way to Destin. Glad I was going the other way. I have seen more people stuck in the sand on Okaloosa Island this year than I have seen in the past. I guess that just means we have more people down here which is a good thing.

Enjoy your weekend. See you Sunday.
