whoops .... Florida again

OK, we have been busy and I have not taken the time to post here. I notice that I posted a quick ne about our first night in New Orleans, now back to Florida to catch up with how we got to NOLA.

Our stay in Port St Joe Florida was wonderful. Hot summer weather, swimming every day. Great sunsets too.

We chartered a fishing boat with a Captain named Joe and spend 4 hours in the bay fishing for redfish and trout. We caught quite a lot!

And we enjoyed eating the redfish the same day, very fresh. The trout were enjoyed the next day and were used to fill the freezer for days ahead!

I'll get back to getting here, but first night in NOLA was awesome. Great band playing within 200 yards of our campsite!  My ears are ringing, but what a great time.

The band is Chapel Hart, and they are headed to Nashville tomorrow.

Florida!

Today we got to Florida! Port St Joe to be specific, on the gulf coast of the panhandle. Checking into our campsite we were thrilled by our site, waterfront!  We enjoyed the afternoon, swimming in the pool, walking and just sitting watching the small waves. A few hours later we sat at our site and enjoyed an incredible sunset.

The next day we played a fun round of golf at the Country Oaks Country Club. It was a beautiful day and we both played better than expected.

After golf we went back into town and walked around Thomasville, this time during the day. It really is a great place.

Thomasville, Georgia

We spent two days in Thomasville, what a wonderful small city. Of all the places we have visited, this might be our favorite in term of being a community that would be a great place to live in. Our first night there we attended their monthly "Sip and Stroll" outdoor concert. All of the local restaurants and pubs stay open and live music plays at the town amphitheater rights in the center of it all.

We had a great time.

Macon Georgia - Allman Brothers

Home of the Allman Brothers!  We visited the "Big House" Museum, which is the house the band shared in 1970-71 when their fame rose quickly and before Duane's untimely death. It was a very interesting place, lots of memorabilia and stories, bringing back many great memories.

Including the ad for one of the concerts I remember attending in Boston way back when.

After visiting the museum we went to the graveyard where Duane and Berry are buried, as well as where Elizabeth Reed is also. (if you don't know who these folks are, skip to the next post). Worth the visit if you are a fan.
