Perfect Weather

On Sunday, we drove from Biloxi, MS to Ft. Walton Beach, FL.  It was an easy 3 hour drive.  We are staying at the Destin West RV Resort.  It only opened in April of this year.  It's a beautiful park right on the Choctawhatchee Bay and across the street from the beach.  Nice, wide sites that are paved, 10 x 20 patio, free cable and WI-FI (super fast), nice landscaping and a pool.

Because we are in the Gulf area, we get a nice sunrise and sunset.

Sunrise this morning.

Sunset on Sunday.

On Monday, we just relaxed around here waiting on Enterprise to call us with a pick up time for the car.  Finally at 5:00, they had a car for us.  We don't always rent a car when we travel, but there are so many beautiful beaches within a 10 mile drive, both east and west, that we wanted a car to check them all out.

Yesterday, we went to the beach at John Beasley Park.  We saw a lot of low flying helicopters yesterday.  The yellow flag was out (moderate surf and/or rip currents) so maybe that's why all the helicopters.  It also could have been activity from Eglin Air Force Base which is nearby.

The weather here is just beautiful.  The high temperatures and humidity that we experienced in Mississippi are gone and it will be in the low to mid 80's with a nice easterly breeze the rest of the week.  There are some rain showers out in the Gulf that look like they are headed our way but a bit of rain will be welcome.  I think we have only seen rain one time since we have been on the road and that was the night it poured buckets on us up in Tunica, MS.

Doug and the dogs are still sleeping.  I'm ready for more coffee and back to reading my book.
