I found this Inn by typing in a question online, There is the best place to stay in Destin,and Henderson Park Inn came up. It may seem a little pricey but you pay for what you get. Wonderful location away from all the crowds in Destin, and Destin is busy. Great staff at check in.

We actually had two rooms, after the first night changed rooms so we could have a bigger baloncy. Both rooms were something out of a Best B&B anywhere. Breakfast was great, the afternoon happy hour great. Dinner at Beachwalk we had two night was excellant. Oh and the box lunches great also.

There is a book in the room says like might change it and make a resort type place with stores and ect. I hope not. did I mention Adult only where can you go in the States and get that, we loved that. Perfect couples get away. If you ever get a chance please go. One slight negative is NO POOL., am a pool person but I was in that gulf everyday. Calm water , not salty.

Perfect for a romantic getaway

The Henderson Park Inn lives up to its reputation. There’s lots of attention to detail, and the staff was fantastic and friendly. The breakfasts were cooked to order and delicious. There’s no substitute for the view since the Inn sits o, n the beach and borders a one-mile stretch of untouched beach. Bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, and even lunch is provided. … April  18, 2011

Thyme and Change ~ Sunday Traditions

Posted on by

By Sheff Charles Lee

I was raised Southern Baptist through and through. Grandmother Mattie was Superintendent of our small, very hot, or very cold Sunday-go-to-meeting place…or in “sinner language,” church. Grandmother Mattie (as everyone in our small community referred to her) held this esteem position for fifty years. This “church” position proved to be a real disadvantage for everyone inside the family household because everyone was required to attend Sunday school, Church, and night services every Sunday. Unless you were in the ground, you were required to be in the church pew.

We did not have a regular minister except for the first and third Sunday of each month. The Lord’s Supper was administered on these Sundays: bread and wine, or in this case, grape juice. There were those among the congregation that felt Reverend “Money Thyme” was perhaps spiking his grape juice with Jack Daniels. The reasons were clear as he slurred his words and read from Psalms when he had instructed the congregation to St John. However, the most obvious reason was when he insisted that “Smokey Robinson and the Miracles” were a spiritual group that toured the country healing people.
Our tradition on the first and third Sunday was that Rev “Thyme” dined in our home. My grandmother decided to bake a chocolate cake in his honor. The cake batter was mixed by hand and cooked in a wood burning stove. This wood stove was our source for heat during the winter months.

She called it a Tipsy “Thyme” Chocolate Covered Pear Cake. Enjoy!
