Our first week of the journey was spent in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. Because of all the storms, the water right now is not the emerald green as it should be. But the view from our resort is still beautiful

Destin is no longer the quaint fishing village that we remembered.  Condos and strip malls have sprung up everywhere.  Harborwalk village was a one of them, built around the old magnolia tree.

 

 

We did get in a round of golf.  The pictured holes kicked my butt!

 

 



 



Found a great spot - good food, feet in the sand and Buffet-type singer.
