Jim, How long are you going to be in Destin? We'll be back home in Destin Saturday afternoon. If your still in town Sunday, please PM us. We will be on the beach at the Whale's Tail Sunday afternoon, unless Kansas wins Saturday night. Then we are off to NOLA. Have fun. Stop by Pompano Joes and say hello to Big Ed, the bartender. Tell him Wayne sent you.
I'll be there through Sunday afternoon. I'll be in Sandestin at Watercolor doing some paddle stuff on Saturday and Sunday...not sure what I'll be doing after thiose sessions. Sounds like it could be a plan!
Do you know how hard it was to find a hotel anywhere NEAR Destin???? :o I ended up booking in Panama City Beach for tonight and tomorrow.
Yep. It's spring break. If you finish your session Sunday afternoon, we will be at the Whale's Tail after 3pm. I will PM our phone. Have a great time. BTW, JB was just here in the parking lot doing a YOLO demo in a shallow pool. His pic is on FB.

Anyone driving I-75 this weekend, especially northbound, be prepared for extra heavy traffic. Everyone is headed in and out of Florida! Spring Break and Easter Week. Our 6.5 hour drive turned into 9 hours.

Thank you again Central Florida! What a Thursday and Friday to remember!

Sitting at the Yard with my hubby and Jen listening to Brent Burns. Had a wonderful time and the tailgate was awesome! Home tomorrow for Bruce Springsteen!

Just got back from seeing Will Hoge in St. Pete. With everything that's happened since Thursday, I'm suddenly hurting in places I didn't know could hurt. Advil and sleep are calling my name.

Hey y'all!
I had a blast seeing old friends and meeting some new ones.
This was the best overall Buffett show experience I've had in years, even rivals my first ever show in West Palm back in 99.
The whole weekend just had that "magical" feeling to it, not overstating that either.
Thanks y'all!

Good times. A huge thanks to everyone that helped pull off the party (ray, jackie, shelly, tom, andy, james, wayne), y'all rock. Just as much thanks to everyone who helped chip in towards the expenses involved and those who were able to just spend the day together.

See you next time!
