We began this Easter Saturday as we do most Saturday’s by going to Waffle House. We got our regular waitress (Dianne), whose daughter also works at that Waffle House and we had the opportunity to introduce our daughter to Dianne. After Waffle House we went to Lowe’s to check for bargains and then Wal-Mart to get some personal items for C&C and some fishing stuff for me to use when Louie is here.
After stopping back at the house we set off to Destin and Banana Bart’s. That’s a unique local gift shop that sits on Destin Harbor and carries an eclectic inventory of useless but interesting souvenir junk and T-shirts. This is a description of the place I found on line:
Banana Bart's Trading CompanyAn eclectic mix of whatnots and gifts with personality, Banana Bart's offers unique selections found nowhere else. Featuring Jimmy Buffet merchandise handcrafted folk ware from local artists. Overlooking the Harbor in a quaint old dockside home, Banana Bart's is sure to have the perfect treasure.
Next it was off to the Old Time Pottery. Christy has never been to one and wanted to see what they carried.
Lunch was once again at Harbordocks and once again it was delicious. We arrived there at 12:45 and were pleasantly surprised that it was not mobbed. It was full but we had no problem parking or getting a table. The cheese grits were to die for!
On the way home we stopped at the National Seashore to take the mandatory holiday beach walk. There were lots of people with the same idea. There were about a half-dozen people surf fishing. I didn’t see anything get caught.
Finally we went back to the house and relaxed for the rest of the day. We had a light dinner of black bean salsa and blue corn chips followed by coffee and conversation well into the evening.
Even with the light dinner we all were stuffed. We will try to duplicate the feeling on Easter Sunday when we enjoy Penny’s cooking.
