Last night was the second to last night here so it was PoFolks for dinner for six and then Jokers for eight. The women won but not by much. Today is our last day. Breakfast at Corams for four. Then Church. Then getting ready to go. And then Golden Corral for six for dinner. Below is Corams. The food is actually very good as long as you don’t look at the cooking area.
Stopped at Seaside on our way home from Navarre beach yesterday. Had a drink with our Daughter and Son in Law at Bud and Alleys. Great view.
Sunset at Bud and Alley’s
Eight of us had dinner at Old Bay, an excellent seafood restaurant in Ft Walton Beach. The Steamer for two was enormous and if it weren’t for the mussels and oysters I would have tried it.
Two kids and an old lady at the Old Bay bar
A long day. Took John and Nancy and their daughter Barbara down 30A to Seaside. Wandered and then had lunch at Bud and Allys. Then drove through Watercolor and got back around 4 PM. Left at 5 PM for Friday Fest, a once a month downtown Panama City Festival (old cars, food, vendors and music). Went to St Andrews for dinner at Captain’s Table and then to the Granite Cafe for Green Beer except I opted for regular and Betty had wine. Got home at 10 PM.
Seaside
The Gulf of Mexico was rough
The upstairs of the Grill is a museum. Kind of like our basement.
Before cell phones.
Portable typewriter. It’s kind of like a laptop except all it does is type. No memory. No Calculations. No pictures. And you needed copy sets and if you made a Typo then you had to white out the typo on each copy and retype. In the military you could only make 7 mistakes (I think) per page. Any more and you had to retype the page.
Before CD’s and Ipod’s. The song “I’m looking over a four leaf clover” predated the Grateful Dead.
On Wednesday we went up to Ft Walton to play golf at Hurlbert AFB and to have dinner with Leo and Lois. We had a coupon for a bottle of wine and one two for one dinner so the four of us got $47 off dinner. I love a deal.
Inside the grill. Upstairs was a museum(more later)
Last Thursday wight of us had dinner at Rodeo’s which had a Bluegrass band for 3 hours during dinner. And they do not kick you out after dinner so we got there at 5 PM and stayed until 8PM. Good stuff.
Leons: Looks bad but they have great donuts. My Navy friend (you always have to be concerned with Navy friends) is always trying to convince the woman who works there that she should not serve me. I almost have her telling Navy jokes.
The Community Activities Center contains a Ticket office (good deals), internet cafe(with computers), wireless center, Oasis ( snack bar)($3.50 breakfast), and Pizza Pub.
CAC
Pizza Pub ($4.95 pizza buffet every M, W and F
On the way to the movies (The Bucket List)(best we have seen this year) (also the only one) we stopped at Smitty’s Barbeque for lunch. A previous owner was into model airplanes and they were hanging all over the ceiling.
After golf yesterday four of us went to Applebees for dinner. Got to use one of the gift certificates. They are in Mardi Gras mode. The hostess with the beads and mask agreed to a picture, giggling all the way. Should have done the red eye eliminator.
