St Marks Stone Crab Festival
Posted: October 23rd, 2016, 6:46 am
Welp, we rooted out the 2 year old grandson, loaded up the Tahoe and landed at the St. Marks at noon. The place was crawling with folks. Thanks goodness I have friends with a "cabin" in the old side of the marina so I could park a little closer. We walked down and paid our $1.00 and started cruising the tents. Finally found the Lynn's seafood tent with stone crabs. Got a couple of orders, but discovered the grandson don't like no crab. Got him a hamburger. No joy. Wife handed him her ear of corn and it looked like a mule eating briers. The boy laid into that corn. 
Then the wife realized that she had left the diaper bag in the car. Suddenly, in the middle of lunch, she is wanting to leave to get the bag. Told her she could go, but I wasn't leaving dem crabs un-eatten! They were pretty dog gone good. Made our way back to the car and boy wanted to play with his little car more than anything. Went by Shields so the wife could use the facilities and I could get some baits and then we headed out.
Those two were hungry, so we stopped at Savannah's to get them something to eat. Had planned on taking the youngin' to Chuckie Cheese, but the way he lite up over pictures of fish on the wall, I changed that to Bass Pro. Stopped at Jerry's and they were about out of gulps too. Went to Bass Pro and the boy got all excited at the fish tank. Back to town to get the boy back to his momma on time. I've paid my dues, so it is back to the Blue house next weekend.
