Top Three Things You Always Do in SoWal?

Not counting being on the beach swimming or sunning or strolling, what do you always do while you're on 30-A? Almost like a tradition?

For us,

1. Ride our bikes every morning on the path for at least an hour.
2. Watch the outdoor movies at Seaside and Rosemary Beach (summer)
3. Check out what's new at the art galleries and little gift shops like LilyPads.

We never not do those things--to us, that's what vacation is!

1. Go to Poets...or what's left of Poets (ok...Sunset in Grayton)
2. Start at Red Bar, Go to Bud's, end the night at 331
3. J-Fun, Laner...what else...J-Fun is a major TTD List maker. We usually make our rounds to visit everyone...Now that's a whole different list!

Kathy, three means 1 -2- 3, not 7. Oh yeah, you went to Alabama and didn't learn to count. I went to UF and our football team has forgotten how to play!

Just kidding. Everyone loves you, Kathy. I'm just giving you a hard time because y'all beat us.

My top 3:
1. Enjoying our pool and hot hub at our house,
2. Blue Mountain salad with catch-of-the-day and house dressing at the bar at Shades, with one of Patrick's margaritas.
3. Either Cafe 30-A or Borago or Bud & Alley's - depends on my mood. This is one choice since it's an "or."

Ok, so I had one of my blonde moments and got carried away. I guess I should learn to read and follow directions better! Thanks for pointing this out to me BR.😀

:lol:

You could add 3 more and post in the "top ten" sticky.

I guess Mermaid couldn't come up with ten so she started her own thread. Maybe I should change the sticky title to "top things".

My hubby says they have the best FRIED grouper sandwich on the planet. It's interesting though - some people love Shades, and some people can't stand it. Actually I don't really like the table service there. It's much better at the bar. But, in terms of service and ambiance, the same is true of Borago.

Picky! Picky! Picky! You have to pay attention to the nuances. The emphasis is on the favorite things you always do, like you can't leave the beach until you've done them because it's what makes your vacation!

And yes, I could come up with a top ten, silly, but I guess I have to post them first. ;-)
