Army Recreation Center Destin, FL

Spent four nights at the Army Recreation Area in Destin, FL.  The facility is right on the bay and has RV sites, motel rooms and condos.  Very popular location and you may need to make a reservation a year in advance(especially for the 2-3 bedroom condos). 

Ted got a round of Golf in at the Eglin AFB course.....best price in the area and open to the public.

Finishing Touchs on the Denver Chicken Coop

The COOP is done!!!  Kari and Curtis even added new sod to the outer yard....what a PALACE!!

 

Kari finished it off with a personalized touch.

Meet "Midnight"

and "Janet"...

Destin, FL Arrival

Traveled down Hwy 98 from Pensacola on Saturday and arrived during the Destin Seafood Festival. As you can see from the photo, us and several thousand other people decided to take the same route.

Ted really enjoyed his burger at McGuire's....

Hattisburg, MS to Pensacola, FL

Discovered a great Mississippi State Park Campground near Hattisburg.  The Paul B Johnson SP has full hookup level sites and the best part 50% for those over 65.  Guess there is some advantages to getting older!

While in Pensacola we had a mini muster with fellow SMART & Nomad members, Rusty and Joann Sturm. Rusty and Joann were part of the SMART group we went with to Alaska in 2005 and we had several meet-ups over the years. Joann and Rusty, thanks for showing us around Pensacola..it was great catching up!

Rusty and Ted hit the links a couple of times during our stay at Pensacola NAS.
