This week started out with a quiet Monday at home. Sunshine Cindy and I were able to get caught up on some Crab Island Mambo stuff. We are preparing a new tee shirt order as we are out of several styles and colors. We plan to stock up on the large teal “Passed out on the Island” design. That has been a big mover for us. You can purchase our merchandise here so you can bring some “Destin” to your home. http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Crab-Island-Mambo-Merchandise.html

Tuesday was a big day for us. We got to pick up Sunshine Cindy’s new engagement/wedding ring. The great owners of Emerald Lady Jewelry are fantastic to work with. They helped us find the perfect ring that is tropical and elegant. Sunshine Cindy is thrilled with her ring. I think I earned some points! LOL
We left and headed to Landshark Pizza so she could show the ring off. Landshark was busy. Jason is now working there cooking. He did a great job for only his second day on the job. Sue and Brian were busy keeping everyone in food and drinks. Sunshine Cindy and I got a pizza and enjoyed talking to some folks next to us. There were several large groups of tourist come in and they all seemed to enjoy their food.
The Pointe (for Dennis)
After we got home we sat on the back porch for a while. All of a sudden from across the lake fireworks started going off. They were coming from the Destin Commons property. We had a perfect view of the pyrotechnics. They went on for about 10 minutes with a great grand finale. We were not expecting to see that and we don’t know what was going on there to warrant the show but we are not complaining.
Wednesday was wet. Wednesday was traffic gridlock in Destin. All the locals know that if it rains during the summer we need to try and stay off the roads. All the tourist who would normally be on the beach get into their cars and take off. They look for the shopping centers, movie theaters or they just want to drive around. Add to that all the people that were coming into town for the holiday weekend and you had the recipe for a major traffic jam.
The beach
There are only a few roads in Destin. Wednesday every one of them was packed tight. It took Sunshine Cindy 45 minutes to go a mile or so. Accidents were all over the place. Hwy. 98 was backed up all the way across the island and halfway through Ft. Walton Beach. When I left work, I headed to Friday’s in Ft. Walton to wait out the traffic. About 8 pm I headed home and it was clear sailing by then. Sunshine Cindy stopped at Friday’s in Destin. We were Friday’ing’ it at different locations! LOL
Enjoy the holiday. Sunshine Cindy and I will be with friends tonight celebrating. The rest of the weekend is up in the air but I am sure we will have a good time no matter what we do! See ya Monday!
