Monday, February 16-Beach Day(sort of)

Since we spent most of our day yesterday in the car driving to the St. George's Island lighthouse today we stayed closer to our home base. After a sugar filled breakfast of donuts, muffins and cinnamon rolls we headed down to the beach in an attempt to walk off the aforementioned calories. The beach here at Ft. Walton is beautiful and at least at this time of year not very crowded.

Later we took our chairs down thinking we would spend more time on the beach but after 20 minutes we packed up and skiddaddled back to the room to warm up. We then drove to Destin to buy a watch to replace mine. On the way we saw a number of wake boarders in the bay at Gulf Shores National Seashore so we stopped to watch. Dinner tonight was Olive Garden and we have enough left-overs to feed us for several days. Tomorrow we plan to explore to the west.
