The Diamonds 50's-60's was a fun show at the Gulf World Entertainment Center!

2/13/2011  Sunday
We did a walk around Pier Park-lots of good people watching seeing it is Sunday!  Took in some sun and noticing more people on the beach.  No swimmers-the water is still in the low 50's.  Everyone writes "SUPER BIG" in the sand while they are visiting.  We have it on our list of "things to do" before we leave.  Not sure if I mentioned that the beach sand is "squeaky" when you walk and drag your feet in it.  It is funny to hear when you are walking down the beach.
We are making plans to connect with our friends-Vivian & Jay (from Ashaway, RI) to meet up in St. Augustine at the end of the month.

2/162011  Wednesday  Sunny high 60's  no clouds and now wind  Water temp is 54
Perfect Beach Day at PCB!  First day we have actually been able to walk on the beach in "beach attire" and NO SHOES!!!!    We walked down to the Pier Park pier and saw a string of 24 small kites connected on one string flying!  What sight!!!  We were told that kiter is a local person who comes to the beach almost every day to fly his kites.  We will try to catch him again before we leave and take a pic or two!!Wish you were here!!!

2/17/2011  Thursday  Heavy fog  cool  50ish  going up to 70 and sunny
Spa Day for me and then we took in a late lunch in Seaside.

2/18/2011  Friday
We saw an "ultra light" and an increase in Beach Goers and Helicopter Sightseers.

2/19/2011  Saturday   Ditto another nice summer day!  Water is getting warmer and seeing more people venturing into the water.
Side trip to Apalachicola which is major player in the "oyster" world!  We have had our share of these oysters while we have been in FL so we thought we would go to the source.  YUM!  The town is verrrry smallll and mainly an "oyster town".   The big attraction is the combo Apalachicola Restaurant/Store/Inn.  This stop gives a whole new meaning to "ONE STOP SHOPPING"!  No room at the Inn seeing there is the "Taste of Florida" Festival tomorrow!!!  We also travelled over a 9 mile bridge to St George, FL (not Bermuda) and found a really remote and upscale beach community.  Once you cross the bridge you wont be planning to go back until your vaca is over.

2/20/2011  Sunday  Hazy Hot and not Humid  **** four star Beach Day  The water is 64 degrees!!
We walked to our other pier which is County Pier and about a six mile round trip.  Today we layed on the beach - too HOT to lay on the deck.  Gorgeous!!  The "Spring Break" traffic is picking up and we are seeing families who area also here for the week.  Seeing some "paddleboarders" in the water!!

2/21/2011  Monday  Just another BEACH DAY  and lovin it!!

Slide show is in the works!!!
