Florida Trip~Part 4

One morning, Rick & George checked out the beach access from the RV park.

Rick and his shadow!

Rick and George learned that:

1) The tram that was available to take beach goers from the RV park to beach access (also inside the park) is on the other side of the park.
2) There's nowhere to park vehicles by the tram, and they're necessary to haul the EZ Ups, umbrellas, coolers, chairs, etc.  Everyone generally takes their own vehicles too.
3) Once the tram leaves you at beach, it's still a haul to get to the water toting all that gear!

 Not sure who this little dude is.

Another morning, George and I rode our bikes over to the beach access to take a second look. It made us wonder if we wanted to go to that beach. 

Now that's evolution!

Conveniently, a very nice beach was a mere 

three miles up the road, and the water was close. 

Setting up. 

Sandy all comfy.

Rick and Carrie cooling off.

I like these umbrella shadows.

Creative beer holder! 

Happy!

Gulf side guys.

We enjoyed our day at the beach which totaled only about four hours--plenty of time for most of us. Charlie and Sandy really love it though, and they went nearly every day.

The opening game of the NFL season took place on Thursday night.  Sweet!  Even better, our Dallas Cowboys were playing.  

Ready to go.

Cowboys won too!  

Woo-hoo!

On Friday, Charlie & Sandy, and Rick & Carrie headed home.

~~~~~~~~

Linda, Joe, George and I weren't leaving until Sunday.  For our final night, we decided to go back to Pompano Joe's for dinner and to watch the sunset from the beach.

 We set up on this little deck to watch the sunset.  

It's on the edge of the beach access walkway.

A suitable location. 

A view down the beach.

The other direction down the beach.

(Ignore those folks in the front!  Ha-ha)

Love my friend Linda!

The sunset put on a lovely show!

Dinner time!

We sat out on the porch this time.  

This place is excellent!

I cannot tell you how much I love their crab cakes!

I wish they could mail me some although 

it probably wouldn't be the same.

It was a perfect end to a delightful trip!

We headed home the next day.  

The girls slept for two days once we got home.

I am putting together a short video of the trip so it looks like there will be a Part Five!

Smile On,
