The Village: More Confusion...The Beach

 

The Village of South Walton, Day 2

We tried to go to the beach today. You would think it would be easy seeing how I am at the beach. But it was not as easy as you would think. All the beach ac or private and you have to be a member to get in. We had rented bikes and were riding up and down the strip looking for our ac. After 20 minutes we gave up and called the village of south walton office and they directed us to the right place.
It seems the only thing that has been bad about the condo that we are staying in is that it they just forget to fill you in on the little details that you need to know.

Well we found the beach and we set on the beach for and hour and a half then a cool breeze came in off the ocean and we decided to head back to the condo.

The Village: The Great Southern Cafe

 The Village of South Walton, Day2

After sleeping late and taking a long bath we made our way to The Great Southern Cafe. We did not get there till noon so we did not get to have their breakfast.




I had a their hamburger with some fires and a root beer



And Savannah had their shrimp po-boy sandwich with some potatoes and sweet tea



And yes I just had to have their key lime pie...




This was a good place to eat good food, good atmosphere, but a little pricey. that is why I give the Great Southern Cafe a... 4 out of 5  

The Village: Work, The Drive, Confusion

 The Village of South Walton, Day 1

We had plane to leave to leave work at noon but with so last minute work pushed it back to 1pm. After leaving work we went to pick up some stuff at Savannah's dad's work then went to Acadamy Sports to get me some sun glasses and a pair of sandals. We picked up some food at Jason's Deli, then hit the road.
It was a good drive from Birmingham Al to Rosemary Beach Fl (277 miles). Not much to talk about, light traffic, clear skys and a full tank.

The GPS on my droid x brought me right to The Village of South Walton. Every thing was going good till we trued to find our bulding. It was not marked as clearly as I would like for it to but after driving around the parking lot for a minute we found the place. We were staying in building G but all the room were make with a B then the room # throwing us off a little, but the door cods worked.
After unpacking and taking a bath we found that the only place that was open was a pizza place called Bruno's. So we called in an order and I went to go pick it up.

Savannah had some lasagna and I had a calsone.
All and al it was a good day

Puptent's Log: The mysterious Lettuce

Last year We planted a small garden in our backyard- in a 4x4 box. In 1 side of the box we planted lettuce and on the other side we planted some beans. The beans grow out but the llettuce never came up. About a week or 2 ago my wife and I were out doing so yard work. And to our surprise there was lettuce growing in our garden.
Plants can be funny like that sometimes...

The Wisdom of a Man

             After writing about fishing I got to thinking about all the other outdoor things my dad has shown me when I was young. Like how to shoot a gun, sting a bow, tie a hook to a fishing line, pitch a tent and many other things. I think these are an important thing for young boys to know.

            There maybe no better place to teach your sons the ways of being a man then siting around a camp fire in the middle of the woods. the stars above, the sound of the wood cracking in the fire, a ball of fire that was once a marshmallow on the end of your stick, man that is the life. 

That's My King!

This was played in my Church some months ago and it moved me. 

I have a Dream today

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia,

Go Fishing

There is just nothing like going fishing with your father. Some of the best memories from my childhood are the times my dad took me and my brothers fishing. we would just sit on the river bank for hours waiting for that one moment when a fish hit your line just right.
