Yep, it’s that time of the year again. It’s time for drunken underage drinkers to get arrested and our beaches to get trashed. Be careful where you walk as some of these kids can’t hold their liquor…or at least hold it in! Luckily it is just a small minority who cause problems. Most are here to get away from their studies for a few days. All we locals ask is that you don’t leave your common sense at home! Oh yeah, and clean up your crap from the beach as we are not your Momma!
Sunshine Cindy and I had a fun week last week. I took the week off and did a bunch of work in the yard. You don’t realize how old you are getting till you start doing yard work with a lot of bending up and down.
We did take one day and went to Biloxi for a night. I got a suite at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. It was an awesome room. We managed to bring home about 2/3’s of the money we took to play with too. Not too shabby. We like Hard Rock as it has a fun vibe. While there we ate at Half Shell Oyster Bar. We have not visited the one in Destin yet but we enjoyed the food and drinks at the casino location.
During the week we got out and about. Monday evening we went to Island Wings. Tim the bartender used to work at The Red Door Saloon and he made us his signature drink called a Purple Gecko. It’s made with Tequila so you know it had to be good…and it was! We had a good time there.
Tuesday I went to Landshark Pizza for lunch. There were some snowbirds in there plus Pops and Jason. Brian was working the bar. Curling was on the Olympics and we were all getting into it. We might not know all the rules but sure had fun living and dying with each shot. It was the US women’s team and they lost but it was a blast watching it.
Thursday was National Margarita Day. When we got back from Biloxi we headed to Margaritaville to partake in a couple. The weather was great and there was a steady crowd coming and going from Margaritaville.
Friday night the Parrot Heads had our monthly Phlocking at Brotula’s. We had well over 100 people show up. Paradise Bayou band played and had everyone up and dancing the entire evening. Then Saturday was our chili cook-off in Harborwalk Village. This is the club’s biggest fundraising event of the year. I was once again a judge. There were 18 entries and none were terrible. Landshark once again was voted the best. I had them and Crab Island Cantina as my two favorites.
Jeff and the Camaro’s were playing at the Cantina till 6pm. We had a big crowd stick around and party with Jeff. He is a great entertainer. All in all it was a fun day.
And on Sunday we rested!
Around town the road construction on 98 has been extended to the east towards the Commons. This will be a mess this summer. The new auto parts store where the original Funky Blues Shack was is now under construction. That will be the second big auto parts store to open in Destin within a couple months of each other. What’s next, another mattress store???
The new Moe’s BBQ is now open. They took over the old Buck’s location. I have been hearing it is very good. We will have to check it out soon.
Have a great week. See ya next Monday!
