In specific, I tried one of Kurt's favorites -- walked the Beach in the rain (a few waves of bottom-dropping downpours), and one of my favorites -- sitting on the porch with friends listening to the rain hit the metal roof of the house.

One of my favorites is watching the little kids chase crabs in that "lake?" that runs into the ocean. (by the way, what is that lake called?) Last time we were there it turned blood red. We were told it was from the pine needles dropping into it or something like that.
Western Lake, and the color is from tannins in the decaying plant matter which falls into the Lake. It is like a big batch of tea, although I recommend sipping "other" beverages.lesinsa said:
I like to eat, so here's my list:
A latt? and a warm banana nut muffin, along with a greeting from Mr. Modica, in the morning.
Adult beverages at sunset at my house.
Watching sports (especially college football and March Madness) at the bar at Shades with a good fish sandwich or catch salad.
Bud & Alley's on one of their good nights, or fresh fish from Goatfeathers grilled at my house with my daughter's bruschetta on the side.
A sugar-free, fat-free frozen yogurt from Dawson's - assuming that the employees aren't too surly to stay open past 7 PM.

Oh, and one other thing -- visiting the Gulfarium over in

One of our favourite ways to spend Friday evenings in South Walton is to go for Friday wine tastings at Chan's in Sandestin, then buy a couple of bottles of wine to drink along with some shrimp, previously steamed by the nice folks at Goatfeathers. :clap_1:
