Saturday - July 18

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BROOKE 
This is from a while ago, but so precious
Brooke and her sweet little girl
 who just happens to have a birthday tomorrow!
 
Thinking of Brooke and the kids traveling all day from Santa Rosa Beach to Lake James.....
 
We did a brisk walk this morning trying to "beat the heat", but that's not happening!    Ha....
 
After breakfast we had a leisurely morning on Daisy and  moved to another spot here at Avalon Landing.    We wanted to have a concrete pad outside our door and where we were was gravel.    Things stay much cleaner walking on concrete, so there was a spot open and we made the move.  
 
We went to David's Catfish House for lunch around 1.   We had seen this place advertised on billboards and read about it online.    Parking lot was packed and we had to wait for a table....excellent lunch of catfish (fresh farm-fed from Mississippi), shrimp (fresh from the Gulf), delicious cole slaw, cheese grits and hush puppies!   Good southern cookin'. 
 We will definitely go back later this week!
 
Stopped for a few things at CVS and then the Milton Bakery for some pastries for tomorrow's breakfast.    This place had gotten great reviews, too.   In fact, the bakery was the #1 rated restaurant in Milton and David's was #2 by Trip Advisor.   We always laugh how the bakeries and ice cream shops are ranked right up there or before the finest restaurants!    The little town of Milton has some good things going for it with David's and the bakery.   
 
One more thing....the waitresses at David's all wear different colorful t-shirts that have on the front:
David's Catfish House
Milton, Florida
 
and then the back has 3 pictures - a cat, fish and house!   
 Very cute and clever!
 
Bagdad is a small community south of Milton that we've driven thru and it has signs about the Bagdad Museum, so thought we would check it out....well, it is only open the first Saturday of the month from 10-12.    Not sure what exactly was in this museum, so Googled it and here's what it said...
 
Housed in the restored c.1886 New Providence Missionary Baptist Church building, the Bagdad Village Preservation Association Museum contains exhibits on local history including a Civil War exhibit with period artifacts and photographs.
 
 Must not get too many visitors for just 2 hours a month?
 
We went to 4:00 Mass at St. Rose of Lima in Milton.   \
 
After dinner, we went for a walk on a very warm Saturday evening!   
 
Happy to hear Brooke, Drew, Davis, Brady and Blair are back at Lake James with hubby and daddy!
