80 Degrees and the Beach

It hit 80 today!  Didn't swim, because the purple flag is up (meaning dangerous marine life...stingrays and the such) but did watch others risking it while I lunched at the Hilton's outdoor restaurant next door to my resort.

Shrimp wraps and fresh fruit!

Spring Breakers Gone?

Since this is my first winter experience in the Panhandle, I don't know if the missing crowds I saw yesterday signals that spring breakers, for the most part, are gone now or if we have one more week of them.  I'll find out when I venture out today.  But it sure is nice to have the place to myself again. 

Witness the 2PM lunch I had at Hammerhead's in Baytowne Wharf yesterday.  Yep, the guy still sang his Jimmy Buffet and other songs from my generation for about six of us.  What a nice relaxing lunch it was!

I counted only ten others there at this time.

Hammerhead's on the bay...live music daily.
