MIRAMAR BEACH FLORIDA FEBRUARY 11, 2017

Drove to Miramar Beach Florida today and checked in to Camp Gulf RV Resort. Our site was not "tooooo bad" as you can see from our pictures. I must say, being retired is a really tough life!!!



















And when they say CAMP ON THE GULF.......they are not kidding!!!  Mike called 1 month prior and they happened to have 3 nites ON THE BEACH!!!!  Sand like talcum powde.r

Water was cold but we went in up to waist one day.

 Drove down the road a few miles and stopped in to surprise Joe and Mary McPherson Sanders and maybe have a few cold ones........................but no one was home!!!!! WHAT A BUMMER! so we stopped by Jerry Jones house and he invited us in for cocktails.

Our last night at campground was ham with covered dish.
