Fun weekend!

There are days where we don't have any idea what we are going to do but somehow these kinds of days always turn out to be fun. Friday was no different. After signing our taxes Sunshine Cindy and I decided to head to the harbor for some lunch to enjoy the fantastic day we were having. We went to Tightlines for lunch where Autumn waited on us. We had Mahi and Grouper sandwiches which were okay. We left and walked down to the Tipsy Turtle for a beer and to enjoy the sun. Dennis was across the harbor at The Pointe and we were waving across the water. We planned to go to the Crazy Lobster but heading over there a golf cart was passing by and the driver hollered at us. It was Carlos from Extreme Marketing who has done our T-Shirts. Carlos is a partner in a new venture at Harborwalk called Crab Island Cantina where the Dancing Iguana used to be.

Sunshine Cindy and Dennis

We got a personal tour as they are prepared to open  in a few days. Looks like it will be a great place. They have a million dollar view that will help! Up to Harry T's we went where the views are also great. It was time for us to head to Fuds for a Parrothead meeting. We got there and had a great time. Steve Hall was playing and he always gets the crowd going. Saw some friends we had not seen in a while. Dennis came there too. It's great having him home from Afghanistan  for a few weeks.

A group decided to head to the Legion for some karaoke. We took Dennis there where his wife met him. Wayne, Julie, Suzanne were all there. I actually did a song. Yes, me! lol  We did have a special moment. I told the commander about Dennis being back for a while. A few minutes later he came out with bagpipes and did a speech about how important everyone is in a battle field including people like Dennis. It choked everyone up. Then he played Amazing  Grace on the bagpipes. What a special moment! Like I said, you never know what we might end up doing in Destin.

We needed to rest a little on Saturday after the fun Friday we had. I worked on the computer for a while publishing the Crab Island Mambo Mullet Wrapper newsletter.

I then took a bike ride to try and get some exercise. Rode about 6 miles. We then got ready to visit with Larry and Brodie in their new place in Mack Bayou. A nice house right across the street from the bay. They put out a great spread of food. Larry loves to cook and he did a Jerk Chicken that was fantastic. They also had a shrimp salad that was to die for. Then Larry opened a bottle of tequila he was saving for us. He bought it in Mexico a few months ago. Very expensive. Aged 12 years. What a great flavor. It did not even taste like tequila. I can see why it was so expensive. Thanks for sharing it Larry and thanks to you and Brodie for a great evening!

Jan and Dennis at The Pointe

Sunday was a beach day at the Pointe. With Dennis back in town it was like old times. We had the usual suspects Russ, Ginger, Bill and Wayne there. Capt. Ron and Joanie stopped by for a bit and Dave and his daughter came out too. But the highlight was Jan and Loujean coming out to party with us. Jan and Dennis broke out the guitars, we talked to tourist, called the coast guard about a sailboat that was adrift dragging it’s anchor right down the middle of the channel…yep, a normal fun day at The Pointe.

It’s a short week. Panama City Beach awaits us this Thursday. Updated blog to come out before we leave. Till then….
