Sitting at the bar were 4 young folks, 2 girls and 2 guys. One of the guys was obviously drunk as he was loud and not too steady on his feet. We all debated if the girls and guys were together for Spring Break or just hooking up for the day. Our guess was a hook up. When loud guy fell off his bar stool, no one was surprised. He was not hurt. Drunk people tend to bounce. lol Just another day in Destin with the Breakers.
We had a fun time listening to BT. A group of ladies from Kentucky came in and immediately they were the stars of the night. One of them joked that they even wore shoes and put in their teeth. They were having a good time. Kenny showed up ready to play his harp with BT. We were tired and headed home and just missed Ron who lives next to AJ’s. Oh well, next time.
Friday night we had a Parrot Head meeting at Landshark Pizza. It was a special karaoke night and early St. Pat’s day celebration. We presented Alaqua with a check for $1000. Folks sang, drank and had a good time. After the party a bunch of us went to The Boathouse. The place was packed with locals and Spring Breakers. We saw our football buddy Bob who was there having a good time. We also saw an old bartender friend, Glenn. He is back at The Boathouse. It was good to see him.
Saturday at Harborwalk Village was the big Taco and Tequila Festival. This festival is the brainchild of Carlos of Crab Island Cantina. It started out as a small festival at his restaurant. It has now grown where they sold 3000 tickets and people came from all over the southeast to partake. All proceeds go to the Boys and Girls club too. It is now a contest to see who has the best taco’s in Destin. And yes, tequila flows like water. Haha
Carlos asked me to be a judge. I got there early to make sure I could find a parking spot. I hung out at Harry T’s for a while with Lynda and Phil. They were having brunch. A group of breakers’ were in there planning their day. Red was staying busy behind the bar. Our judging started about 1 pm. We had 10 different taco’s to try. They were all very good. Some had pulled pork, some had fish, some had beef…there were many different toppings too. It was cool being a judge. I hope I get invited back.
When we got done, I could have gone to the VIP party but there were so many people I decided to head home. I did find out our friends with Landshark Pizza won the prize for the best taco’s. At the end of the judging when we found out where the tacos were from, we knew they would win as everyone raved about them when we tried them. Who’d of thunk a pizza place would win best taco!
While I was judging Sunshine Cindy was shopping. She said traffic was heavy even with thousands of folks down on the harbor. We stayed in for the rest of the evening relaxing. And Sunday was spent around the house although I did go have a pizza at Landshark.
There was not much new around town this week. The rebuilt Waffle House near Airport Road is open again. Time to go see how the new place looks. Lol
This week is supposed to be our busiest week of the Spring Break season. The local schools are out and several of the colleges within a day’s drive are also out this week. It looks like it has been an uneventful Spring Break so far. Each day there are a dozen or so mug shots in the Northwest Florida Daily of underage drinkers who were busted but that’s about it. The word seems to be definitely out it is zero tolerance.
It’s St. Paddy’s Day this Friday. Be safe and don’t drink too much green beer! See ya next Monday.
