Tuesday 2/27/18

We spent the morning walking the white sand beach and splashing in the surf.  

Last night's rain and wind made waves of sand all over the beach

Well, its been said the third time is a charm.  That wasn't the  case today.  Of the six lunches we had in Destin, three were at The Back Porch.  Shrimp Baskets to die for. Fish and Chips that are Heavenly.  But we're not sure what happened today with the Shrimp and Grits. 

Per the menu...Shrimp and Sausage sautéed with chopped garlic, bell pepper, diced tomato and finished with a delightful cream sauce. Served over Rosemary grits with Parmesan toast points.  We thought  maybe the grits were supposed to be served cold.  The sausage was two little chips about the size of a thumb nail.  Diced tomato??  On the plus side the shrimp and cream sauce was warm.  When the waiter asked Linda if she needed a box, she made a face and said "I thought the grits would have been served hot".  He looked a bit confused and said, "They weren't hot?"   They reduced our bill and gave us delicious Key Lime Pie for desert.  

If we are ever back in Destin we will be sure to visit The Back Porch...Just skip the shrimp and grits!

The Back Porch street side.

Still on the job.

In the afternoon we started loading the truck for our departure tomorrow morning.  Linda says it met all my expectations.  I think she would come back in a heartbeat.
