Emerald Coast of Florida Week 1

We left Tomahawk on Monday, Dec. 21 after celebrating Christmas with Kirk's family. We stayed at Kelly and Billy's in Oregon on Mon. night and left Tuesday morning for Nashville. (620 miles)  We had clear roads, mostly cloudy day- it was 70 degrees when we arrived in Nashville.  NICE! We stayed at the La Quinta near the airport since they take dogs.  After walking Ole we had a nice dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. We arrived at Kevin's in Mary Esther, FL about 3:30 Wednesday. Had some rain on the way down.  On Thursday 12/24 we went to Eglin AFB to get some stuff out of our camper which is being stored there. Went to Christmas Eve service at Holy Trinity Lutheran, Opened presents and watched "A Christmas Story" before bed.
Christmas Day- Kevin had to work so we took a drive. It was foggy and misty but got nicer as we headed east. Stopped at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Checked out the campground there- very nice large sites.  High temp was 82. We made a ham, twice baked potatoes and green beans for supper. I think Kevin is really enjoying having us here.
On Saturday 12/26 Kevin had to work again so we went to a couple of flea markets just to look around, then stopped at the Naval Oaks part of the National Seashore. Quite deserted, nice boardwalk from the visitor center to the beach. We met a family from Duluth. The beach sand is very soft and white. It was a little sunnier today, high of 78.
