Grayton Beach State Park - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

We finally feel like our journey of travel and adventure has begun.  What a great first stop (I don't consider Tallahassee more than a resting spot) is this wonderful Florida Park.  This is one of the most beautiful works of Nature, and man working together to create this beautiful space.  The park consits of 2200 acres, and a mile long white sugar sand beach. 

From our very spacious, and private camp site we can hear the roar of the Gulf.  The sound is so invigerating as nothing beats the sound and feel of being near the ocean. We are close enough to walk by the beach.  As you can see in the picture the sand looks like snow and of course Andrea looks like she is ready to trod through it.  The temperature later in the day warmed up to 68 degrees so off came the jackets.


There are hiking trails all around the park.  Today we (Angel included) hiked one of the trails and enjoyed it very much.  There are also lots of biking trails that we will also be checking out.

We took a car drive on a Gulf frontage road to explore some of the sea side communities in the area.  All I can say is WOW.  Some of the houses and communities that have been developed are just amazing.  Real Estate here is expensive, but you can really see why.  We drove through Sea Side, and Water Colors just to mention a few.  We are here for six days and will be doing much more exploring.

Thats it for now.

Miles of smiles,
Charlie, Andrea and Angel
