OK, I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to come up with things to do, including eating, for $30/Day or under for a family of four. We probably couldn't count regular groceries. So, groceries aside, what could a family of 4 do for $30/day on 30A for one week? Some ideas:
1. Beach (could explore all the beaches along 30A, starting at one end of 30A and go to the other end - we haven't done this yet)
2. Pool
3. Bike Path
4. Porch - games/puzzles/books/nap
5. Grayton Beach State Park is amazing (under $10/car all day which includes grills, showers, bathrooms, handicap accessible)
6. Fountains at villages of South Walton (they light up and dance around 8:30 at night for about 20 - 30 min)
7. Lunch special at Angelinas (I think it's $5.99/person during most weekdays) - where else could a family of four go to eat out for $30 - I heard hot dogs at Grayton Corners; Subway if you want to support a chain in Grayton; Could a family of 4 eat for $30 at Amore?
8. Take out meals from Publix or take out/deliver pizza from Brunos or Spicy Noodle (if you live on the East side of 30A)
9. Take out Steamed shrimp from Goatfeathers
10. Free movies and concerts during summer at Seaside/Rosemary Beach; concerts I think during spring break
11. Probably Shell Island depending on how much the boat to the Island costs, but that's not 30A but may be worth the trip.

Yesterday was beignet day. Today was take-out Chinese Food day from Jin Jin, the place near Publix on 98 where it splits going to Panama City Beach. Got 3 different things (moo shoo chicken, beef and broccoli, and orange chicken), as well as dumplings for right under $30.00. Enough to feed 4 people (with some leftovers depending on how much everyone eats). It was very good typical Chinese take-out. The dumplings had a nice light dough. I did my quick grocery shopping at Publix while I was waiting for them to make our dinner. Nice and convenient. I'm full now and will do another 30 laps tomorrow (I'm not really doing all these laps, just making promises to do them).
