Day (29) Fort Pickens National Park–At the Beach

 

We woke to bright sunshine and unrelenting heat. Our plan for the day - head to the beach, jump in the water and enjoy. By the time we finally got out of the MH is was around noon.

I had packed a lunch while Ron put all the beach gear in the Jeep.

Ron was forbidden to take pictures of me in my bathing suit. I’m always self – conscious about my weight but as it turned out I was pretty much the thinnest woman on the beach!!!!!! LOL – Still – NO pictures-Ron!!!!

While we were on the beach we noticed fins in the water just past the sandbar. There was a school of dolphins feeding. It was difficult to get a picture because they were in and out of the water so fast. It was cool to watch.

We stayed on the beach for almost four hours – a record for us. Between the sun and the wind we were pretty burned. Not to bright on our part but a good afternoon anyway.

The fresh air and salt water got to us and Ron was in bed by 9 pm and I hit the sack at 9:30pm. It was a very relaxing day and a GREAT beach day. The plan is to hit the beach again on Thursday, this time with shorts on and  lots of sunscreen.
