We went to Destin, Florida to one of our favorite state
parks, Henderson Beach State Park, on December 13th where we stayed
for six nights. It was a short walk from our campsite to the park’s pristine Gulf
of Mexico beach, with white sand and emerald-colored water.
My sister Janet and her wife Nancy joined us for our last
two nights in the park. We especially enjoyed a boat trip from Destin Harbor to
watch for dolphins.
We left Destin on December 19th and drove to
Eastpoint, Florida for an overnight stay. It was heartbreaking to drive through
Panama City, past Tyndall Air Force Base, and through Mexico Beach and witness
all the devastation from Hurricane Michael. The eye of the Category 4 hurricane
hit Mexico Beach on October 10, 2018 with peak winds of 155 mph. The seaside
town sustained major damage.
We arrived at Low Key Hideaway in Cedar Key, Florida last
Thursday, December 20th for a six-night stay through Christmas.
