Destin in May

This week in Destin continues to be unseasonably cold. Where is summer????

Monday Sunshine Cindy and I went to Graffiti’s for dinner. We wanted to get out and we had not been to Graffiti’s in a long time. The food was excellent. Shrimp, scallops, pasta…we had it all. It was a nice and relaxing dinner.

2012 Backyard Party

Tuesday night was a Crab Island Mambo planning session for our upcoming party. It’s a little over one week till we party on Rocky Bayou. Everyone is welcome to join us for a full day of Trop Rock music, good food and  friends. Only $25 to pre-register. Here are all the details: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/3rd-Annual-Trop-Rockin-Rocky-Bayou-Party-presented-by-KC's-SandBar-&-Grill.html

Wednesday I stopped in at Landshark Pizza for a while. The place was packed for their special wing night. I wanted to talk to Brian and Sue about our upcoming event we are having there. On Sunday May 27th, Jan Patton will be playing his Trop Rock music from 1-5 pm. There is going to be a crawfish boil and Bud Light will be only $2 all day. It is going to be a fun day as we “Embrace the Chaos!” Mark your calendar and be sure to come by for the party!

The Destin Log is reporting the old Twisted Palms building is under contract again. A previous deal fell through. Now it looks like “Poppy” from Crazy Lobster fame is working to take over the place. I am sure he will put in another of his signature type restaurants. I am also guessing there will be another club opened in the ground floor space. Let’s see if I am right.

In the continuing saga of if they will ever announce the arrival of Margaritaville on the harbor I am now hearing the announcement will be July 4th weekend. Yeah, right! This is like the rumors every year that Buffett will be playing at MOTM. I will believe it when I see it! LOL

Nothing to do with the party but a fun pic of Tater

The entrance to the Destin Harbor is going to get dredged again. It is getting narrow and shallow. This is like the third time they have had to do this in the last few years. Every since the Emerald Grande was built the winds currents have changed and now the sand from the Pointe is constantly blown into the mouth of the entrance. Something will have to be done on a permanent basis or they will have to dredge it every year or two. Now if we get a hurricane or even a strong tropical storm there is no telling how bad it will get.

We have another fun weekend planned with a beach clean up on Saturday. Join us on Okaloosa Island Beachwalk #2. Have a great weekend. See ya Monday!
