Kerri
We live here on 30A and we have a 2 month old as well as a 6 and 7 year olds. We take them most everywhere we go and have never had any problems whatsoever. Never mind the rantings of a few, and certainly never mind any stink eye. There are plenty of places where no one is going take kids (like the couple you mentioned), and they can go there if its so horrible having kids around. :shock:
Ill give you a list of where we go regularly on 30A (that is, more than a couple of times): Stinky's, Pompano Joe's , Elmo's, Smiling Fish, Goatfeather's, Red Bar, Shorty's, Hurricane, Broken Egg, Donut Hole, Bud and Alleys (outside), Shrimp Shack, Great Southern, Gravel Road, Angelina's, La Cocina, Shades.
Enjoy your stay!
