Wind down week in Destin

This week has been a chance to regroup a little after the craziness of the Seafood Festival last weekend. They are saying there was over 70,000 people that came down to the harbor and partake in the festival over the three days. I am pretty sure everyone associated with the event was pleased. I know Crab Island Mambo was happy!

Here comes the band

Monday was supposed to be the day Sunshine Cindy bartended at the Tipsy Turtle. But at the last minute they decided to not open. I guess they were still worn out from the weekend too. That was just fine with Sunshine Cindy. She was able to stay home and get some stuff done. When I got home from work I completed all the bookkeeping from the weekend. We also came up with a quantity of tee shirts and tank tops to reorder. We are going direct to the manufacturer. All of our shirts are Made in America. We pride ourselves in keeping our dollars in this country.

Our American Made T-shirts

Tuesday Sunshine Cindy placed the shirt order. We are having them dropped shipped to our printer in Panama City. We want to make sure we have a full stock before we head to Key West in a couple of weeks for Meeting of the Minds. We are also finalizing plans for our 3rd Annual Trop Rockin Rocky Bayou Backyard party to be held May 18, 2013. The official announcement for the party will go out early next week. Sunshine Cindy completed the flyer on Tuesday. We are bringing them down to Key West too so we can promote us and the event.  I spent the evening working on the web site getting the web page for the party started.

Wednesday was another stay home day. More stuff to get done. With the Sloppy Joe Cook-Off this Saturday at the Tipsy Turtle that means we have to get our work done early. Sunshine Cindy booked us a room in Port Charlotte at Banana Bay for three days before we head to the Keys. This is a small “old Florida” type place right on the water. We are looking forward to staying there again. We did a few years ago and liked it.

Alan coming down the boardwalk

We did not get a chance to see Alan and Jackie again before they left. I know they were at Sago Sports Bar on Monday night. I think they are hooked on the place! LOL I hope they have a safe trip. The weather was perfect for their visit. It has been cool in the mornings (60 ish) and nice and warm (80’s) during the day. What a great time of the year. The fishing rodeo is in full swing on the docks now. Get down there and check out all the action as the boats pull up to the weigh-in dock in front of AJ’s.

It's going to be another busy weekend. We have Parrotheads at Harry T's on Friday, the Sloppy Joe cookoff at the Turtle on Saturday and Bwana Ray playing at KC's on Sunday. Get out and enjoy. See ya Monday!
