Destin, Florida
We had a great drive from New Orleans to Destin, Florida on Thursday. We stopped for fuel in Mississippi and for lunch at the Florida Visitors Center as we entered Florida. We were in four different states today, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. We got set up at the Destin RV Resort, across the street from the Gulf of Mexico, and then I jumped in the pool to cool off a bit. The pool was hotter than my morning shower but it was able to make me feel cool when I got out.
We drove down the gulf shore looking for a place to have dinner and ended up at Pompano Joes, which was right on the Gulf. We had a cocktail and walked on the beach while we waited for our table. The emerald green color of the water was very striking against the white sand beach, just beautiful! We got a great table right by the window and everyone enjoyed a terrific meal. Jerry and I had a Garlic Crusted Grouper with a lobster sauce while Tippy and Patty had fried grouper and Jackie had shrimp. I can’t remember what Mike had but he ate it all so it must have been good.
Today Tippy and I slept in and just relaxed in the morning while Mike and Patty took Duffer to be groomed and Jerry and Jackie went to visit Jerry’s cousin in Ft. Walton Beach. Tippy and I went to do some shopping for shorts and tops with a quick stop at the neighborhood grocery store, and then lunch on the beach. I had a Calamari appetizer and the fried clam strips while Tippy had fried shrimp and we both had a glass of Pinot Gregio wine to enhance our meal. We will stay in tonight and have a light meal while the other guys’ head for dinner and drinks on the Gulf. Tomorrow we may play golf and then eat in with Patty cooking a London Broil with asparagus and some seafood for an appetizer.
On Sunday we start out on a two-day trip to Tampa with a stopover in Perry, FL. Mike and Patty will spend two days at Lazy Days RV to have a few things on their coach fixed. We will stay in Tampa for two days and then head to Vero Beach to see our friends Ray and Sandra. Jerry and Jackie will spend six nights in the Tampa area and will visit Jackie’s sister while there. Mike will take our spot at the RV Park when we leave on Wednesday and then we will all join up again in Titusville, FL near, Cape Canaveral. I will add a few pictures from here in Destin and then post again from Tampa. Be safe.
