Wordless Wednesday – Spectacular Sunsets and Other Florida Fun Things to Share!
We continue to battle internet connections, but I found a hotspot strong enough to load a few pictures and post an update on our trip around Florida. In the most recent post, I mentioned that we arrived in Keaton Beach, Florida, a perfect place for a Wordless Wednesday contribution because there is NOTHING to do there. There is no stoplight in this small village, which attracts mostly fishermen. Nevertheless, Keaton Beach has stunning sunsets, and we were fortunate to witness some spectacular ones every day of our visit. I have one posted above, and the remainder of the gallery is shown below.
Oh, I did try my luck at fishing and landed a rather large Redfish. The fish struck a frozen shrimp a sizeable distance from the pier, requiring several minutes to bring him in. Big fun!
Helen used some very windy days to finish her puzzle. Mortimer hung around to coach her through the challenge.
Our next stop is Kissimmee, Florida, and Walt Disney World to see our granddaughter compete in the National High School Cheerleading Championship. We’re havin’ fun, and we’re still Easin’ Along.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. Go hug somebody…you’ll feel better!
We Have Front Row Seats!
Last Thursday, Helen, Mortimer, and I arrived in Keaton Beach, Florida. We had yet to learn what awaited us in terms of a campground. The reviews were few but were favorable. I chose the location primarily because the driving time from Eastpoint, Florida, was within my preferred range of four hours. Lynn, the campground operator, greeted us warmly when we pulled in. Lynn is a charming Southern lady with a Southern accent to match.
As soon as we pulled in, we noticed a vacant campsite within a few yards of the waterfront. We asked Lynn if it was available. “Honey, she said, I’ve been savin’ that campsite for y’all all day!” I couldn’t take a step without smiling.
Campsite number 25 is perfect for water lovers and faces directly into the setting sun, and we have seats on the front row for every one. The two sunsets we have witnessed have been spectacular. Our weather is also excellent, with clear skies and temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s.
Campers here in Old Pavilion Campground came to fish the Gulf waters. The area around the campground has apartments, small beach houses, and campgrounds dedicated to fishermen and women of every stripe. Every morning, we wake to the sound of fishing boats heading for deeper waters in search of a big catch. We have a small pier beside our trailer where Helen and I can drop a line; no license is required. A couple next to us has caught two large Redfish since we arrived.
The only knock on our campground is that the Wi-Fi is weak, and T-Mobile service is spotty at best. I struggled to upload three pictures and finally decided to hang it up until we move to Kissimmee (our next stop). I’m saving my sunset pictures until we get together again, so please come back next week. We’re Easin’ Along.
