There really are only 2 things we do much of when on vacation. The first is eat. We have our favorite places whether in Destin or North Carolina. The picture on the left is from Dewey Destin's, a eclectic shack on the inter coastal between the Destin barrier island and mainland Florida. The restaurant's kitchen is located in a trailer behind the main building. You stand in line to order your food through a window. There is no menu. You select your meal from a large chalk board. After ordering, you sit on weathered picnic tables located outside on the dock. Gulls and herons circle above you, sometimes a little too close for comfort. This is one of our favorite places. There is also The Crab Trap, Pompano Joe's, Stinky's Fish Camp, The Doughnut Hole, Nick's, The Lucky Snapper and many other fine eating establishments. We really haven't found a bad place to eat.It is wonderful, both the atmosphere and the food. The place is always crowded, and the seafood is spectacular.
Then there is the golf. This shot was taken of my lovely bride hitting her tee shot on a course named Windswept Dunes. The course is in great shape, and lightly used. This leads to a casual, unhurried round that is enjoyable for all.
We love playing golf with SILC and BILL while on vacation. BILL is an accomplished golfer capable of shooting in the 80's on any day. SILC is playing golf in her third year. While not accomplished, she is steadily improving and will be kicking my butt as soon as BILL buys her decent equipment.
We feel very blessed to enjoy this time with people we consider to be close relatives and friends in such a beautiful location.
Has SILC tried to pretend that the ball is BILL's head? Or is she playing nice these days?
ReplyDeleteShe has been very nice after getting her second birdie of all time yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHas your bride beaten you yet on this vacation? Say HI to SILC and BILL.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this line. made me laugh "SILC is playing golf in her third year. While not accomplished, she is steadily improving and will be kicking my butt as soon as BILL buys her decent equipment."
ReplyDeleteGlad ya'll are having fun - all four of you deserve good eats, good company, good golf, and hopefully some R&R together! Wish we were joining you, but know the "adults" have to get away to play once in awhile. ;)
