Weekend Recap

With temperatures dipping into the low 70's and rain spitting off and on most of the day Saturday, we had to time our activities around the weather.
We started the day off with washing the front of Road Hazard. On our drive over from Crystal River to Destin I think we hit every bug. The front of RH was multi-colored with the splats of bugs. You had to rub pretty hard to lodge these souvenirs loose but after some effort RH's face looks clean. I think on our future trips the RH Bra will be put in place to cut down on clean up.
By the time we finished the weather had warmed up enough for us to venture out onto the white sandy beach to chill'axe. Because of the high wind the Life Guards had posted a RED flag which means that you shouldn't swim.

No problem, I can spend the day just sitting on the beach.
There was a guy Kite Surfing and he would come in pretty close to shore. You can see how lazy I am because you can see my toes at the bottom of the video. You think I'm going to stand up?

The Life Guards were also out playing in the surf.
Here are the Life Guards out on their Long Boards "training" in the big surf. It's hard to believe that this is the Gulf of Mexico. The waves were huge!

After a day on the beach we decided to check out some local bars. We found this place called AJ's which is right on the water. It had a nice view on the deck where the band was playing. We were the only ones watching hockey and cheering as we watched the Caps win their first playoff game. After the band finished their set we turned around to watch the next show.

Fireworks! Apparently they shoot off fireworks from this location every Friday night.

After a night of much entertainment we decided to head back home but we had to stop at Krispy Kreme first. The light was on announcing that they had Fresh, Hot Donuts ready. You just have to stop when you see that!

Ok, so I was caught by surprise with this picture but these donuts are soooooo good. And you get a free hat!

Sunday was a little worse, in turns of weather. Much colder and more drizzle. Perfect day to try out this restaurant called Fud Puckers. They are also home to over 50 alligators in their front pond.

We ended the day yesterday chasing down a good location to watch the sun set. There really isn't any good place to watch the sun go down in the water. I think we have left those days behind us.

We'll have to keep looking.
