I think I could officially become a beach bum, well part of the time anyway. There’s nothing more relaxing than spending an afternoon on the beach. Shells are not abundant in this area of the Gulf for some reason, but I did mange to pick up a few cat’s paws, which I think are so adorable. I have so many shell varieties now, I think I’ll do a shadow box with their names and showcase a few of them.
 We had a couple of good days that were warm enough to enjoy the beach and we did. We also managed to get by one of our favorite seafood restaurants, Dewey Destin, for some fried shrimp. It is without a doubt the best fried shrimp I’ve ever had! Kat and I went here last May when we were down there and we were hooked.
 My honey walking on the pier while we waited for our food to come out.
There are always an abundance of birds hanging around hoping for some morsels. There are signs everywhere asking people NOT to feed the birds. You can imagine what would happen if they did.
Colorful umbrellas on the outdoor tables. You just can’t beat this view anywhere!
And here’s the shrimp basket…go ahead and drool, I know you want to.
So Kat set us up at their beach club and we had lunch here on the balcony one afternoon.
And looked at this view.
And then walked here….
Both directions hardly anyone in sight.
Except a few of these guys.
It is paradise.
Yep, beach bum….my new calling in life!

Rhoda, love those sugar sand beaches on Florida’s west coast. Love you, too! Glad y’all had fun! Got to fly…

OMG–you’re killing me with those yummy looking shrimp!
yes rhoda, i could actually become a beach bum too! looks like a great time ♥
Destin is so wonderful! Hubby had to come take a look. He keeps three web cams of Destin, and checks them daily to see the weather,boats coming, ect. That shrimp was mouth watering!
Yummy. . .I live in Florida and I was ready to snatch that shrimp out from the screen! Great shots. . and oh by the way. . .was that your Dr. Pepper? We all know that it’s a favorite drink of us Southern girls (next to tea). Do you put peanuts in your Dr. Pepper?
I’m absolutely adding Destin to one my “must see” list!
Thank you so much for sharing your stay with us.
Thank you for letting your readers tag along on your adventures. I enjoy your pictures so much, especially the pictures of the cottages you took earlier this summer. 🙂
What a beautiful beach and no one around. I love it! The shrimp looked great too! If we ever get down that way, we will need to check it out for ourselves. Connie
You are one classy blogging lady! I’m a beach bum too.. only relocated to the desert..sniff…:(
Love your posts! What great holiday pictures you have! I’m heading back for another gander! Planning on returning again, and again, and again! I just LOVE Southern Hospitality!

I actually shoveled my driveway yesterday…yes, I mean SNOW! So, those photos look really nice.
However, the snow really makes it feel festive! Guess I’ll keep it : )
