It was late when we got to the campground. Since the sun sets before 5 we have to push it to enjoy the sunset. We weren’t disappointed.SmileIMG_4135_Eagles NestThe next day we walked the trail to see the Fort. Along the way we were delighted with all the sights.IMG_4142-marshThe marsh lands are breeding grounds for many wildlife species.IMG_4140-duck

Just loved the reflection  of this tree and this butterfly just posed so nicely to have its picture taken.IMG_4182_Hank

Saw the Heron the next day when the fog was incredible. We have one of these that visits at our place in Kona.

This was one of 4 forts that was built to defend our shores from other countries but only saw action during the Civil War.IMG_4171_We Got Crabs

Next day had lunch at We Have Crabs. Ate there last March. Food is great, service outstanding and it is right on the water.

IMG_4169-001I had the clam basket and Carl had the combo platter. The yellow “presents” are half a lemon tied up in yellow netting with red ribbon. IMG_4173_FL_Fort PickinsGreat presentation.

This sunset was waiting for us as we hurried to get back to out camp site for sunset.IMG_4168_Aloha Grill

Look what we found. Recommended by the hair dresser who cut my hair. Sorry no picture of our meals. We devoured it before we even thought about a picture. I had Saimin to the Max and Carl had Chicken Katsu and Primo Beer. Do we sound homesick or what?

Another beautiful day and another gorgeous sunset.

We’ve made the decision to stay here for Christmas. Weather was very active today and we still have things we want to see here.
