Destin Easter Weekend

What a weekend we had. Thursday we stopped at Crab Island Cantina. The weather was warming up a little so we got out to the harbor. We talked to Carlos, Dominic and Greg. While we were there I noticed a Facebook posting from JB that he was doing Karaoke at Sundestin resort. Our friend Sami tends bar there so we decided to head over.

Sami was surprised to see us. JB and his wife Tammy were outside doing the Karaoke. It was cold but there were tourist sitting around having a good time. Inside we were watching some of the March Madness basketball games. Ohio State was on and there were some Buckeye fans watching the game. A big cheer went up when the Bucks hit a long 3 point shoot as time was running out to win the game. We closed the bar down…okay, last call was at 9:30…but it was fun. We headed to McGuire’s from there. It was ladies night and the place was packed. We stayed a while enjoying watching the younger folks have fun.

Friday Sunshine Cindy and I headed down to the harbor. It was sunny and warm. We stopped by to see Matt. Tommy and Pops were there too. Matt is booking fishing charter trips. Call him at 850-687-8424 and he will set you up. From there we wandered down to the old Tipsy Turtle. It has been opened again by Danny of Rotten Apple fame. Tommy was working the bar. They plan to have liquor soon so it will be a little different. Mike was at the bar. He is running Aloha water sports. The new name of the bar is going to be Banana something. They are not sure yet.

We continued down the harbor and ran into Renee in front of AJ’s. We talked to her for a while then headed to see Steve at the Hawaiian Ice booth. He has some good ideas for the upcoming season. We wish him well. On the way back down the boardwalk we saw Scott and a parrothead friend. The good times are rolling on the harbor again.

Malibu Jack's

We left the harbor and went to Hogs Breath for some dinner. After eating we stopped at Malibu Jacks. James was working and Eric was the only other person there. We hope they make it as this could be a fun place. Right next to Malibu Jack’s a new El Paso Mexican restaurant has opened. They are putting a big deck in. Looks like it will be fun place. The tour continued as we stopped in at Rotten Apple. Rose was working. A small but lively crowd was in there. Some drunk chick with no teeth was trying to pick up everyone in the bar. Scott and Paul stopped in. A couple of guys we saw at Hogs Breath also came in. We joked they were stalking us.

A beach day

Next stop was Landshark Pizza. A big crowd was there eating and watching more basketball. We spent a lot of time talking with T. We have seen him before but never really had a chance to talk to him. He is an interesting guy. Wayne joined us. Paige was working. We had not seen her in a while. As they were getting ready to close we walked down to Cash’s to check it out. We have seen it a hundred times but have never been in there. A good late night crowd was there. And from there it was time to head back home!  

Saturday we slowed down a little. We celebrated Easter at our house. It was a relaxing day of food and drink. While on our back porch we watched an Osprey fly over and dive into the pond behind us. What a majestic bird. Sunday we had Larry and Brodie over to discuss the food for our May “Trop Rockin Rocky Bayou” party. Larry is cooking up another feast for us. Everyone is welcome to the party.

Sunshine Cindy showing off our new tank tops

We have also received our new Crab Island Mambo t-shirts, tank tops and long sleeve shirts. They turned out great and they are all American Made from the shirts to the design and to the printing. I hope everyone will want one so you can “Embrace the Chaos!” where ever you live!

Have a great week. See ya Thursday.
