A Destin favorite, Burt and Nancy (one of the couples in the family) got engaged there. So not only is it just fun to slurp down fresh oysters, drink beer and hang with locals, but it also holds a special meaning for 2 of us in the group. It's a dive. Floating on the water. But fun, fun, fun.Burt had planned to take Nancy on a boat to ask her to marry him but was late...missed the boat. Literally. The way he describes that day, the ring was burning a hole is his pocket the entire drive down. He got stuck in traffic, got lost (yes, Burt is a man, God bless him) and ended up late on the big day. The 2 of them had met online.
They had both been married before, Burt divorced, Nancy a widow, heart-breaking, and both were separately dared by friends to put up profiles online through AOL's dating service. They'd never met, started chatting, and that's all she wrote. So, no boat ride, they headed to the Boathouse. The inside is covered in dollar bills, including Burt & Nancy's, knick-knacks, license plates, and a bra or 800. They found their dollar, still hanging on one of the rafters. Here's to happiness, Burt & Nance. 
You're inspiring! And thanks for sharing. The Boathouse gets a thumbs up!P.S. Can someone dare me to join an online dating service? And all of you who have cute, single male friends, can ya dare them too!?!
