There are many activities and restaurants in Destin, Florida. I visited a few of them with thirty blogger friends. The first was a restaurant with bowling. It is called, Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl and Grill. First there was some wonderful and unusual food in their, Trophy Room. An example is Boar Sliders and alligator. The atmosphere was like nothing I have ever seen before. It is very mesmerizing bowling in a fish bowl! That is exactly what it felt like! You really have to experience this!

Lulu’s is a new open air restaurant in Destin. It is owned by Lucy Buffet, Jimmy Buffet’s sister. It has a beautiful beach atmosphere and is very family friendly. It also has fun, and music! Lulu’s has very fresh seafood and supports the Gulf-to-Table movement which guarantees fresh seafood. I was amazed by this. The wait staff can bring you a tag which you scan with your smart phone. Then it shows you the boat your fish was caught on with a picture of the fisherman. Next, it shows you the chef in the restaurant with his picture! It is really wonderful to insure fresh seafood. Lulu’s also has an Allergy menu. This is so great for all of the people with allergies. This is a restaurant you just cannot miss! It has great family and beach atmosphere!

Our last stop was at Wild Willie’s Adventure Park. We ate fabulous pizza and had so much fun here! It has an arcade inside with 4-D Movies. Outside is a ropes course as big as a mountain for all of the fearless people! There are also several rides and a miniature golf course. So much family fun here!

There is much more to do here on the Emerald Coast. This is without the white beaches and clear emerald green waters. If you are planning a vacation you will not be disappointed in Destin, Florida!
