If you have wanted to own a piece of Destin, now is your chance. Sunshine Cindy and I are listing our house for sale as we look to move to a place that we can let Chaos run around better. Our house will be on the MLS any day now. It is in a great part of town with a nice lake view. Message me if you want more info.
We survived the 4th of July Independence Day celebration. It started on Monday evening as we sat on our back porch and watched the fireworks show from the Destin Commons. Chaos loved the fireworks. She sat and stared at them and was not bothered by them at all.
Tuesday afternoon we went to Boshamps for lunch. We sat at the big outside bar. The food was great. The atmosphere at the bar was very subdued. It might have been due to the heat but there was a nice breeze blowing. It was not the kind of bar where you just strike up a conversation with folks around you. Maybe it was just the time we were there. But the Grouper sandwich we had was one of the best we have ever had.
We then stopped at Tailfins at our usual spot in front of the downstairs bar. It is always breezy and a great people watching spot. The owner Johnny came by and chatted with us for a while. They do a good job taking care of the locals and the service is always good. Plus it is easy to park in front of the place and walk down to the bar. My knee is slowly improving but this still helps me being so close. As it was getting later in the afternoon we decided to head home before all the people coming to the harbor for the fireworks show got there.
The rest of the week was back to work and starting to get the house in order to show it. On Saturday we went to look at a couple of houses. One was okay but reeked of cigarette smoke. You don’t realize how bad a house can smell until you enter into one that allows smoking inside. The second house was very nice. It had a big pool and a big yard for Chaos. This one has potential.
After looking at the houses we stopped at Tailfins again for lunch. We talked about the houses, had some good food and cold beverages. Johnny saw us and came by again to say hi. He told us Friday night Ruben Studdard from American Idol fame sat in for an hour with the band they had playing. He said it was awesome and he was so good. You never know who you might see in Destin.
Sunday we went to the airport to pick up Tiffany. She is spending a few weeks with us. Sunshine Cindy and I had a beer at the airport as we waited for Tiffany to arrive. Two beers cost us $14.84. That is ridiculous. After we got Tiffany we stopped at Landshark Pizza for lunch. I had 3 beers for $6.75 there. Note to self, don’t get beer at the airport anymore!
I know everyone likes to talk about the traffic in Destin in the summer but it has really not been as bad this summer as past years. My theory is tourist who stay in San Destin or Okaloosa Island are staying in those areas to party and play. Whatever it is, I hope I didn’t jinx it.
Sunshine Cindy and I send strong healing vibes and prayers to our friends Kenny and Mike. They are both fighting serious health issues. Get well soon guys!
This Friday night is the monthly Parrot Head meeting at Landshark Pizza. It is hippie night. Come out and Party with a Purpose with the Parrot Heads.
See ya next Monday with a full Destin recap!
