We took our annual trip to the beach last week with Drew's family. It seemed like we a had all been waiting forever for our trip to the beach. And of course it went by so fast. We loved every minute of doing absolutely nothing. The best part is Drew was able to go. We didn't think we was going to be able to go with school and everything. But at the last minute it all worked out. It was wonderful. This was our second trip to St. George Island. Not many people have heard of it. It is close to Apalachicola. Apalachicola is a small fishing town. It almost feels like you are walking back in time. Really cool. You have to take a bridge a several miles out to get to St. George. The island is very secluded. There are several houses and like only one very small condo and like 3 or 4 restaurants. It is very nice and quiet. And since we went in September there was nobody there. The perfect vacation.
They are building a new light house on the island. So we weren't allowed to go inside. The last one was really close to the water and was hit by a storm and collapsed into the ocean. They were able to salvage some of it and most of the bricks are from the original lighthouse.
We went to a couple of shops on the island. And we even picked up some Christmas gifts. Check out the sign.
The sunsets were beautiful. Almost every night we sat on the beach till the sun went down.
This is the house we stayed in "My Blue Heaven". It is so nice and we couldn't have asked for a better location.
Drew fishing with all the string rays. In the evening there were several sting rays in the water. And they bury themselves in the sand. One time Drew and Brandon were coming in from fishing and Brandon almost stepped on a string ray. The rest of us were sitting on the beach and all we could here was Drew and Brandon screaming. It looked pretty funny from were we where. But not for Drew and Brandon. It was pretty scary.
Beach Bums.
Our last night there we ate at a pizzeria on Apalachicola. It was really good.
Our last day on the beach. And back to reality.
