Carrabelle, Florida

Jeffrey kayaking in our cove on the Chesapeake Bay.  We also got to paddleboard. We both liked it. I wanted to add the paddleboard-kayak belonged to Cindy and Jimmy Hopkins from Utah.  They sold their house and are traveling full time.  I mentioned them in another blog.  He is a bicyclist enthusiast. Her bicycle is motorized. The kayak was a blowup, hard type. That makes it easier to transport.

I'm taking you back to June, 2015. Our first trip out on the road full timing. We are in Carrabelle, Florida. We loved it there. It's half the way between Pensacola and Panama City on the Panhandle. Carrabelle is a sleepy, fishing town. The bridge over to Carrabelle Island was as pretty as a postcard. All the fishing boats are parked in the harbor. I wish we had a picture, but I still wanted to comment on it to jog my memory later in our travels. Also, on this trip we visited St. George's Island. A beautiful area with the white sandy beaches on the Gulf side. They had refurbished the island with truckloads of sand. Mostly houses with new construction going on there. There is a campground on the island, but it is in the woods with small lots-no beach,but you can ride your bike down the road to the beach.  It is very quiet over there. Another place we visited during this trip was Appalachicola. It was a bit larger down the coast towards Mobile.  It had a quaint downtown area with lots of shops to browse. It was hot there with no breeze.  That's why I've chosen to be on the coastal campgrounds.

A beautiful sunrise over the pier at Ho Hum, our campground. We loved it. It's very small and only for adults, right on the beach.

Looking through our patio area outside our RV- that's the beach out front. You pull right up to the water. When it's high tide the water is all the way up. Then when it's low tide, the water's out.

I had to show you the oysters Buddy and Cindy made for Jeffrey. He loved them!  They own a bar in New Orleans and this is some of the different ways they fix oysters.

Here we are on the next half of our lives! There is life after work! We love it!
