We are so blessed to be able to go on so many fun trips. This last month we had the opportunity to go to Mexico Beach, Florida for a week. I have a lot of family in Florida, some who I haven't seen in quite some time. My parents decided to rent a beach house and invite some of the Georgia family down so we could all spend some time together. Our first night in Florida, John and I stayed with a friend of mine that I grew up with in Grand Junction. It was great to see her and to meet her husband. We had a great time with them and hope we will have the chance to do it again someday.
The next day we met my parents and brother in Fort Walton Beach and then it was off to Mexico Beach. We got to the beach house fairly late, so it was already dark outside. We could hear the surf, but we didn't know what kind of view we would have. When we woke up the next morning, we were all exited to look out the window and see a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico.
The beach was just across the street, so we went for walks almost everyday. We saw Dolphins jumping in the Gulf just about every morning. A highlight of the trip was sea kayaking in the bay near Cape San Blas. It is a beautiful area and the water is very shallow for a long way out, so we were able to see a lot of aquatic life. We found sea stars, horseshoe crabs and hermit crabs. We also saw stingrays and quite a few birds.
Apalachicola, FL has some of the best raw oysters in the world.
