We didn’t do a lot this week, discovered a few new restaurants, drove along the coast and visited a few more cemeteries.
We found a nice eating spot in the town of Baker, GATORS “Home of the BUBBA Burger” it’s kind of a 60’s diner with great food and a Blue Plate Special.
We took a drive down to the coast to do a little shopping at the Destin Outlet Mall, no good deals today, then down to Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seagrove and Watercolor. All beautiful sounding names but don’t bother going there. They have all turned in to rental towns, beautiful homes that you can rent for $1200 a week, you can’t see the water because of all the buildings and this being Easter break, traffic was moving about zero miles an hour. We spent an hour at Eden Garden’s State Park, nice but not great.
The highlight of the day was in Defuniak Springs, we met a local in an old cemetery and he told us about the Pub Burger at Ed’s. Of course we had to try it since it was dinnertime. This is another place that is right out of the 60’s and the Pub burger is about a half pound, but we managed to eat all of it. One of the better burgers we’ve found.
So much for the diets this month.
