"On the Beach" in Destin


     We spent the morning cleaning the RV inside, doing laundry, and watching the dogs. They're quite enjoying the outdoors, and particularly exploring the campground walking in the fine white powdery sand. We're parked just above the beach front, as far as one can get for full hookups (water, electric, cable and sewer). You can see our RV above (second from right), and right next to us (second from left) is Bailey and Lois's. The adjoining photo is of Sadie the collie, and Bailey--our dogs can't understand why she was up there and they were down below with me.
In the afternoon we drove a few miles to the Henderson Park Inn here in Destin. It was designed and built by 2 brothers from Ogunquit, ME. They wanted to re-create the famous Sparhawk Hall from Ogunquit, so they had this inn designed and built back in the 70's to look as much like it as possible. Becky and Bailey had actually stayed at the original one in Maine, and the top photo is of the two of them walking out of the Henderson Park Inn.
     The rest of our non-exciting day was shopping at Publix, the "upscale" supermarket chain in this area.
     Becky and Jim are both still suffering from Pine Tree pollen; Becky in particular.
We shared a meal in "The Chateau", and watched the movie "the young Victoria" which we quite enjoyed, and made it a relatively early evening.
