A Beautiful Day on the Beach

Fort Picken's, Gulf Breeze, FL

I had another ruff night last night.  I went to bed early as the rain had gotten the best of me with my back.  I took some more pain medication and headed to bed.  Unfortunately it didn’t last all night long and i was back up by 12.30 AM.  I was awake until after 2 AM waiting for the pain med's to kick in.  It was another ruff night of sleeping.

the dogs had me awake early as they needed to do their business.  Last night before bed time hubby went to put them out and before they could get their business done it started pouring buckets.  They got soaked and so did hubby.  So they were overly ready to go out this morning.

It was a cool morning but it wasn’t long and the sun was out.  Since hubby wasn’t feeling too good his kidneys are bothering him and i still wasn’t from my aching back i went back to bed.  We slept in late this morning.

While i was still sleeping hubby put a ham in the crock pot to cook for dinner.  Since we are so far from civilization we will be cooking all week long.  It’s not a short jog to town from here. 

Here is our campsite .. we have a nice size yard although we don’t have enough room to park our truck on campsite, so it’s parked in the extra vehicle parking around the corner from where we are parked. The down part about this site is there is no grass and so all that black and white sand junk ends up inside.  We did put our green rug out and that is helping some but if we forget to wipe the dogs off, it is everywhere. 

We had a simple lunch of mac and cheese and then after lunch we went down to the beach to enjoy the beautiful sunshine as temps were warming up.

This poor jelly fish has met it’s fate on the beach.  I spoke to a resident here and she said they were overrun with them this summer.

This is the campground registration center that you can see from the beach.  Isn’t it a beautiful picture?

 
There are several families camping here in the park since it’s Christmas break and as you can see they were enjoying the beach too.

They have a nice pavilion here at the beach that has restrooms and they say it’s very nice and cool in the summer time to sit under and enjoy the breeze off the Gulf.

The sun was really glisten off the water .. i am so happy to be on the beach!

My ride waiting to take me home

We had a great afternoon on the beach.  We just had a ham sandwich for dinner as neither of us felt like fixing anything to go with the ham.  Our evening was spent just relaxing and watching the nature channel.  My back is really tender as it gets when i suffer with back pain and muscle spasms.  I was in bed early.  Between too much fun and this back.  Thankfully the rain is gone for now and the temps are suppose to continue to rise.  Yesterday it was in the 60's but i'm looking for those 70's temps.
