After a four hour round trip to Tallahassee, Rob got a replacement BBQ. Another couple of hours to set it up and the day was gone. At least I got the laundry done and finished a book while he was gone. Oh and walked Dusty on the beach several times. He's decided he likes to walk on the beach and chase the waves so about every hour he sits at the door and whines. Then he leads me across the street to the beach. Who says he's not spoiled.
Scoured the local attractions, Appalachacola and St. George Island. Appalachacola was interesting with its old picturesque homes. St. George Island is a beach vacation destination with lots of rental homes, much like the Outer Banks in NC. Not much else there, but an interesting drive over another long, long bridge. Walked through a swamp looking for birds. Spotted a Green Heron, but the rest of the birds apparently found a cooler, less humid spot to roost.  Had planned to play golf, but the winds came up and we decided to relax instead.


A crowded day on Carrabelle Beach!

In 1943 Carrabelle Beach was used to train the 4th Army Infantry Division to prepare for D-Day amphibious invasion on Utah beach. On D-Day the first amphibious assault teams to arrive on French soil were from the 4th Army.

Next stop Tybee Island, GA.
