Fort DeSoto

Our time in Panama City Beach included visits with Don & Marilyn King (Jackson School) who showed us around the Sea Side area and Sylvia and Lou Nyberg (Egg Harbor) who came to visit us and go out to lunch.  Both were on very cold days but both visits warmed our hearts.

Since our last entry, we packed up and moved to St.

Petersburg.  To be more exact, we are at Tierra Verde, Fort De Soto County Park.  The park is beautiful.  Our campsite is 40 yards from the water and the weather has been wonderful. 


We wandered out of the campground today to find the YMCA in St. Petersburg for a little lap swimming.  It is HUGE.  You can probably guess what a huge pool looks like at 11:00 a.m. when it’s located in the middle of a retirement area.  To paraphrase Bob Hope, “It made us feel so young, It made us feel there were songs to be sung…”.  I was once again lap swimming like I had before the speedo boys from Arkansas ruined my self image.

Fort De Soto is another park recommended to us by my cousins. Thank You.  The park has super bike trails, miles of white sand beaches and beautiful vistas.

We’ll be driving up to The Villages this weekend to visit my brother, Bill before returning to this park on Sunday.  As it turns out weekends in beautiful parks are busy and there was no room at the inn for us.

  2. Well, aren't you the two adventures? It all sounds lovely and your home away from home looks delightful, except the shrimp part, which I have discovered makes me violently ill. I'll spare you the details. If you want to hear more, I can call or text you. Glad you had fun with Sylvia and Lou. Thanks for the update. Enjoy The Villages.
