We have been here in Carrabelle, FL (in the panhandle along the coast) since Thursday. It was pretty chilly here the first day, I don't think it ever reached 60 degrees. But since then it has warmed up nicely, even enough to get a tan. We are right across the road from the beach, and we can usually see dolphins swimming on our walks along the beach. It is really nice here and the people at the resort are very friendly and full of information. The first night we ate at Red Pirate in Eastpoint, recommended by the locals, it was not bad.
On Friday, we drove to St. George Island. This is a very nice island, but since it is off season there isn't very many people there and some of the restaurants are closed. We seen the lighthouse and drove down to the State Park that has a campground (not that nice and probably would never stay there, but the park is nice and so is the beach). We walked on the beach which has a lot of shells to see, I even found my first sand dollar, small but they aren't easy to find. We ate at Paddy's raw oyster bar, no one ate raw oysters, but Louie said his Buffalo Shrimp wrap was the best food he has ate yet.
Saturday, we drove around some of the sightseeing spots in Carrabelle, some were duds, but others where worth seeing. There are some more stuff we need to go back and check out, like the ferry to Dog Island WWII museum, and Tate's Hell State Park. Once we were done driving around we came back and just enjoyed the beautiful sunshine by the trailer.
Yesterday, we went back to St. George Island because we just wanted a relaxing day, so we just looked for shells on the beach, I found 2 more sand dollars (little but it was better then nothing). We also got up early enough to make it across the road to the beach to see the sunrise. I have to admit this is the first time I actually paid attention to the sun rising and it was absolutely amazing. I have just always lived by letting the world pass me by, but not anymore. We are enjoying everything to the fullest now.
