Day 2

Good morning everyone! We are having a great time on our beach trip. I always go to the beach early for the sunrise!

After breakfast, we went to Driftwood beach .

We love the fact that it isn’t crowded here. Of course, we are here in the off season so I’m sure that is part of it. We walked around here for a few hours. Then we went back to the rental for lunch.

After lunch, we walked the DQ trail. We love this trail.

We saw the alligators. There were baby alligators there but my phone couldn’t get a good picture of them. Grace got some on her camera though that shows them pretty good.

After walking that trail, we went down to the welcome center. They have a platform that you can walk up. It is really pretty there. Lots and lots of bird activity. You can also see the big bridge way off in the distance. After that, we came back to the rental and ate supper. We rested for a little bit then went back to Driftwood. There is a trail that goes parallel to the beach.

To our surprise, we saw these spoon bills. They are so cute!

I love getting these pictures of us on our walks!

It was a beautiful sunset!

God bless!

Day 1

Good morning everyone!

As you can tell, we are at the beach! We drove down yesterday. It takes about 9 hours for us to get here so as you can imagine it is a long day. We left about 6:45 and arrived at our rental about 4. First we unloaded the car, then went to Dairy Queen for supper. We enjoyed our chicken strips at one of the picnic tables DQ provides then we went straight to Driftwood beach. It is our favorite beach and always the first one visit.

By this time, it was getting late and time to go see the sunset.

We discovered this beach last year when we were here. It is a beautiful place to see the sunset. I think the name of it is St. Andrew’s beach.

After the sunset, we went back to the rental, drank some tea and relaxed for while. We want to bed early as it had been a LONG day!

That’s all for the first day. God bless!
