December 16–26, 2011–Christmas Week

Finally got to Florida.

Christmas on the beach RV style.

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.The next day we walked the trail to see the Fort. Along the way we were delighted with all the sights.The marsh lands are breeding grounds for many wildlife species.

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

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

 

Arrived at the Fort and had a guided tour by a Ranger who is also the historian of this National Park. This was one of 4 forts that was built to defend our shores from other countries but only saw action during the Civil War.

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

I 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. Great presentation.

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

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.
