We wanted to see some friends in Destin so we agreed to make a stopover in Holt, Florida. What we found was a little southern charm hidden just a mile from I-10. The Eagle’s Landing RV Park was a nice surprise, level sites, great grass, and very clean wih full hookups. And the owner was a very friendly face who made us feel welcome right away. We asked where we could get lunch at and they pointed us to “downtown” Holt.
It was really a very small “blink and you’ll miss it” town. “Downtown” was comprised of a gas station, small grocery and a restaurant called Cozy Corner Grill. So as having no choice and always up for something different we pulled into the restaurant. There were a couple of young girls working that were so nice with very cute, small-town personalities. Almost innocent. But probably not since there is not much to do in a small town right? The owner was hanging around joking with staff. A heavy-set cook (kinda like Jack) was manning the kitchen, which was a good sign because you know what they say about a skinny cook. When I ordered the blackened grouper I knew it was going to be done right because the cook asked me if I wanted it on the grill or in an iron skillet with a little olive oil. That is just the way I love fish cooked! Then he asked if it was okay if he used garlic salt on Sharon’s grilled shrimp to give it some zing. Now this was service. Our meals were so good! The experience brightened our day so much and now we cannot wait to get back to Holt and the Cozy Corner Grill sometime so we can enjoy some yummy banana pancakes (that all the staff touted as being awesome) for breakfast :)
The next day Sharon got to shop with Alice. I went to play volleyball at the boardwalk in Fort Walton Beach. I played alot better this day than I have been playing recently. I played with Lab and we won 4 games before I practically fell down from exhaustion. The day was sunny and low 80’s with no wind, perrrfect. I additionally managed to stumble across two shoes for the diaries as well. That night we took Alice and Wayne to dinner at Elephant Thai. Seemed I got the best dish because Alice and Sharon kept stealing bites from my plate :) We went back to their house, played some Rummycub and just had a nice time hanging out.
That next morning we headed out to St. Augustine.
