Mama Kat Thursday: Virtual Vacation!

Image
The Mama Kat blog writing prompt today is: "Take us to a local spot in your city and show us what we're missing...you'll be saving us thousands of dollars now that we don't need to take the trip!" I live in the Niceville/Ft Walton Beach/Destin area here the  Florida Panhandle.  Despite the fact Destin & Sandestin are popular resort destinations, Niceville and Ft.Walton remain fairly small town.  The tea is sweet and life is slow. It's the sort of place where you'll see a fancy BMW driving down the road right next to a good 'ol boy beater truck with hunting rifles mounted in the back window and empty hunting dog boxes in the back. It's that kinda of place. A central feature of the area is Eglin Air Force Base--the largest land base in the Air Force. So large, in fact, that Hurlburt Air Force Base, on the other side of Ft. Walton, is actually on Eglin property.  But, unless you have an I.D. card or work there, you'll never see it....
