We
drive 323 miles today which should be 5 to 6 hours. We stay in Saint Andrews State
Park which is on the Gulf just outside of Panama City, FL. |
We left New Orleans
about 9am and headed for Florida. We had our first close
encounter in a parking lot. We tried to turn into a Subway and
got stuck. Richard had to go the wrong way in a one way street
to get us out! We drove through miles and miles over more
swamps. We wanted to take the scenic drive in Florida on Hwy 98.
Unfortunately we got on 98 about and hour and a half early so it
destroyed our schedule. Once we got to Pensacola Beach it was
all worth it. I had not been there for over 30 years and Rich
and Deb had never been there at all. The beach is magnificent. I
can't even describe how beautiful. Hopefully later today I'll
put up the pictures! |
We were trying so
hard to get to our site before they closed at 5 (which is also
the time it gets dark) but we just couldn't quite make it. We
pulled in at 5:30 and had to use a code to get in. Then finding
our spot was a challenge but not nearly as great a challenge as
me backing into it IN THE DARK!! Whew! It's an incredible place
though - by far the best. What a view. We're right on the water
and it is amazing. I just wish it was daylight!! |
To Day 5 |
