April 13 - April 16 (Sun - Wed)

Our next stop was at Henderson Beach St Park, Destin,FL. This is one of the places we were really looking forward to because we had heard from several people that it was a beautiful beach, with fine white sand. Well it certainly was that! Also a very clean beach. Sunday was a warm, sunny day, so after we got all hooked up at our campsite, we spent the day down by the beach. It was a good thing we did because the other 3 days we were here were not beach days. It stormed Sun evening  and poured, very windy. It was very overcast Mon and chilly. So we took a ride to Pennsicola, FL, about an hour away. We had heard about the Naval Aviation Museum there. It was very interesting and while there we saw an IMAX documentary about the Navy Blue Angles stunt flyers.  Really neat! 

Tues. It was "down right cold" (are we in Florida??) We did some errands in the morning, shopping, post office, etc. in the afternoon we went down to the beach, which was only a few minutes from our campsite in the park. but it was so cold  & very windy. We had on sweatshirts and we still were cold. It was much more windy by the water ( which incidentally is a pretty aqua color) so we found a golf course nearby, and golfed 9 holes. Richard got 2 pars!

Wed. The sun was out and it wasn't as windy, but it still was quite chilly ... Again not a beach day! We decided to go to a show in the afternoon. We saw the movie NOAH which we saw advertised on TV &thought it would be good .. NOT!!! We both thought it "stunk". Not at all like the biblical version. After the show it seemed to have warmed up a bit, so we went to the golf course &Richard did nine holes, I drove the cart and was his caddy. Tomorrow we leave here. We were really disappointed that we couldn't  enjoy the beautiful beach more. Oh well, we have no control over the weather, do we!
