Beachy Keen

Thursday, we hit the beach again.  Another beautiful day.  When we got back to the RV park, we talked to a man who had been waxing and polishing RV's there all week with his mobile service.  After talking to him, we decided to have him do ours.  We made plans for him to start at 8:00 Friday morning.  He said he would do part of it in the morning and then come back later Friday afternoon to finish.  We decided that was a good plan, because we would still be able to hit the beach that day.

We also headed to a different spot for sunset.






It was a beautiful sunset.

On Friday morning, the mobile waxing service showed up.  11:00 passed, noon passed and finally I asked them, "Hey, Mark said you would work till around 11:00 and then come back around 4:00 to finish after the sun got off the other side of the MH."  They told us that Mark had just called, he said keep working and he would be there in about 20 minutes.  He showed up at 2:00 (and now it's too late to go to the beach) and decides that they will have to come back on Saturday morning to finish.  He promises to be there by 7:30 a.m.  He calls at 8:00 and says he can't be there until around noon.  We tell him we are heading to the beach, come by and finish and then stop in around 4:30 and we'll pay him.   When we get back from the beach, he's been there and finished part of it, but skipped the front.  When he gets there for payment, Doug points it out and he decides to come back Sunday morning to finish and collect payment.  This time he does what he says and he is done by 9:30 Sunday morning.  The MH looks great, but it was disappointing to have all that time tied up in it.

I finished books 6 and 7 (one on my Kindle and one in print).  Monday was our last day at the beach.  The winds had been calm for several consecutive days and the water was the clearest it had been since we got there.



Every single day that we had been to the beach, we saw the dolphins and Monday was no exception.  I decided that they came to say see ya later, until the next time.

I did a last walk around the park right about sunset and saw a heron again.  I guess he also came out to say see ya later.


We really enjoyed our stay at this RV park and would highly recommend it - Destin West RV Resort.

We left Ft. Walton Beach this morning and got just north of Nashville.  It was a bit farther than we had planned on driving, but now we only have about 5 hours left until we hit Indy.  Can't wait to see my family.  Doug is already asleep, as are the dogs.  Guess there's only one thing for me to do and that's enjoy the peace and quiet with another cup of coffee.
