Another National Holiday!

Thank goodness when we were in Flagler Beach, we took some time and explored a bit of the Dixie Highway, an historic Florida State Highway. Had we not, we never would have had the opportunity. In today’s climate of political correctness, those responsible for state highway naming have decided that from now on, it will be called the Harriet Tubman Highway. Maybe some day we will get to explore that a bit as well. In the meantime, we will just have to settle for the Mardi Gras decorations that are everywhere in February in this part of the US.

Since we carved out some time to pay homage to National Pizza Day, we felt obliged – well, at least the Woman felt obliged – to make the same sacrifice to honor National Margarita Day. We had to find the finest beach bar on the powdered sugar sands of Miramar Beach, but the Woman said it was worth it. I settled for the crab and artichoke dip, which I have to say was fabulous!

The pooch, Kona, has become a regular fashion icon. We were used to seeing him in his nifty sweater, and were always excited to see him sporting his Las Vegas Golden Knights NHL jersey. But when he got his new Las Vegas Raiders NFL hat, he couldn’t help but show it off. What a ham!

As we are wrapping up our time in Miramar Beach, we are trying to catch as many sunsets as possible. When we get to Biloxi, we don’t expect to get the really nice sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico to the west, as we will be starting to head a bit down the eastern coast. It’s been really cloudy and rainy as we near our departure date, but we did get one last nice sunset. When we moseyed out to the beach, the sun dipped behind a thick cloud bank. But soon, it emerged below that bank, and we actually got to experience a really nice one – bonus!

Talk to you soon.
