Resortquest Rentals At Gulf Place Community Santa Rosa Beach

Dave blew it!! <br><br>I knew we needed to get on 98 but took the first turn instead of going to Pensacola first. So we went at 50 miles out of our way around the Gulf Coast, totally lost but finished up where we wanted to be in the end, except it was going to be Destin but became Fort Walton which is OK. Did about 240 miles instead of 200 but here is lovely, right on the water and tonight as ...

Beautiful beaches. <br><br>Too bad they are flanked by zealots and bikers. Been a long time since I had seen such racism co-existing with constant praise to the almighty (I know, usually go hand-in-hand). <br><br>If you are looking for a confederate flag boogie board, they have plenty to choose from. <br><br>White sand, clear aqua water...and lots of country families compliments of Alabama. If you can ...

4:12 pm<br> <br>I'm here for Bridgets wedding staying at a beachfront condo with some other Chicago classmates.  We were all down at the beach catching some rays and Kyle and I decided to throw the football for a bit in the nice clear water.  He dove for a ball and lost his wedding ring in the nice clear water.  We hunted for about an hour in the nice clear water, but were unfortunately unsuccessful.  Helicopters from the nearby airforce ...

2 am<br><br>The sky is clear and lit by the stars and the moon.  The water is pretty calm and the temperature is perfect.<br><br>This is some sort of paradise....<br><br> <br><br>Tonight: I walk<br><br>When stars can be seen<br>I take walks<br>So tonight I walk<br>My hands and heart open<br>But not alone<br>The path below me<br>An hour glass<br>Still<br ...

... Slick Fingers Lou" (Grandma Lou) was the only one that actually made any money on the trip but they all had fun. We all got to lay out a bunch on the beautiful beach in front of our beach house and we all got a fairly remarkable tan. Cory, Matt, Nicholas and I did a bunch of surfing and boogie boarding and saw a lot of marine life in the water. At night, well, lets just say that a number of us dove heavily into the spirits and had some great times playing ...

... my own hook.<br><br>The best part about being in Destin was being with my cousins. We had so much fun, swimming and hanging out. On our last day, my mom took us to ride Nascar gocarts, because we had been doing boot camp with her every morning. The go carts were so much fun to drive. My cousin Charlsi kept crashing, which was funny. It was sad to say goodbye again but I hope I will see them again very soon in the Beaverkill, if they get to come visit. Florida is great!<br><br>

Our first stop was Niceville up in the panhandle. (Actually, our first stop was Sonny's BBQ in Ocala for a BBQ pork platter and a bowl of fried okra - yum!) Just to answer the question before it is asked - No, not everyone is nice in Niceville. But it is pleasant enough and a short drive across the bridge from Destin which has some of the best beaches ...

After breakfast of french toast, we did some packing to prepare for our road trip home which begins tomorrow, and caught up on our blog. We wanted to get some pics at Pompano Joes, Bass Pro, and Hard Rock. We also took a few more ocean pics. We ate a great meal at Pompano Joe's. Louise had island wings, Thelma had Mahi Mahi and black ...

... There we faced a Category 5 Hurricane.............................. ....................................... ........................ We had a great boiled gulf shrimp dinner! Worth every penny! By the end of our dinner, the hurricane 5 was wreaking havoc on Louise! We decided to leave the hurricane for awhile and go to the Village Doors. We got complimentary drinks...AGAIN... Louise was feeling the ...

... in all of Thelma's favorite hot spots, but no Thelma. She finally called Thelma and by now Thelma was reoriented to the right path. Prior to Louise calling Thelma, however, Thelma had been trying to call Louise but funny thing is Louise refused to answer her "home" telephone! Finally both of us were reunited and Louise had to keep a very watchful eye on Thelma so she would not get lost again. We hung loose ...
