Summer weekend in Destin

One of the cool things about living in Destin is you never know where the day might lead to. Friday night was a Parrothead meeting at Harry T’s. I was able to get home between the traffic tie ups. The weather was threatening when we left for the harbor. We found a parking spot and walked over getting there right as it started to rain. We were nice and dry to watch the rain. There was a good crowd show up. Everyone had a good time. A group of us decided to head to the Tipsy Turtle to enjoy the night. Surprise, they were closed. When the rain hit they shut it down. Oh well, we went down to Burrito del Mar. We ended up with a big crowd come and go. Wayne, Bobbie, Darla, Anny, Kenny, Jim, Betty, Jan, Tommy…you get the picture.
We knew some folks had headed to the Legion so off we went. Julie, Suzanne, Capt. John, Candy and Larry were all there. We had a fun time with karaoke. Capt. John had a handheld bubble machine so of course Sunshine Cindy had to sing Tiny Bubbles with the girls! Too funny. When the Legion was closing up we were not ready to head home yet so off to the Waffle House for some late night breakfast. Perfect ending to a fun night.

New fun in Destin, "Jet Man"

Saturday the girls decided to go see the movie Magic Mark. Their review as don’t waste your money. At least the popcorn was good. I met up with them after the movie at Landshark pizza. Wayne also came out to join us. Stephanie taking care of us. We had a great pizza. Time to head back to the harbor. This time the Turtle was open. Pete Henderson was playing and Matt was his usual funny self behind the bar. There were two biker couples across the bar. One of the guys heard us mention Parrotheads and said he wanted to join. They were from Arizona so I hope he does. We also talked to a lady who works part of the year in Key West. That was cool. It was the usual fun time at the Turtle.

And on Sunday we rested! LOL Actually I had to make a few trips to the harbor to see our new friend Steve at the Hawaiian ice booth. He is selling our tee shirts and doing a good job with it. I had to restock him. It is a lot of fun working with him. Keep it up Steve! Finally, on Monday the traffic was bad as there were several wrecks around Destin. I got lucky as it mostly cleared up by the time I got home. We went down to the harbor to hang out for a while. We met Julie at the Turtle. Pete was behind the bar. Jack was playing music. We had our usual good time people watching. We ended up at Landshark Pizza for a late night pie. Brian stayed open a little later just for us.

Have a great week. See ya Thursday!
