Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives--Oh My!

Beth and Aunt Iris came over to Big Tree RV Park today to see our new home. I think they enjoyed the Stressless chairs!


Beth drove us to Singleton's Seafood Shack for lunch. We took the St. John's River Ferry to make the crossing to Mayport (a whole .9 miles).



The Shack is a real shack! It's been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Yelp says the ambiance is "Divey." Food is served on paper plates with plastic tableware, and a roll of paper towels on the table serves as napkins.


We all ordered the catch of the day sandwich. Iris had king clip. The rest of us had mahi mahi. Ken got his blackened. Ken also ordered clam chowder. The food was good, but Ken thought the chowder wasn't quite what he expected--good, but thicker than usual and with unusual seasoning.


After we ate Beth took us on a tour of the restaurant, including the back room, which is dedicated to an array of model boats carved by Ray Singleton (his kids run the restaurant now).



After lunch we dropped Iris off at her doctor's appointment. Her foot was checked and re-bandaged, and the doctor said there were no signs of infection, so now it's just a matter of taking some time to heal.

It rained pretty much all afternoon. The upside is that the rig is not nearly as dusty as usual. I cleaned some windows and did not see the usual rivulets of dirty water running down.
