We chose the interstate route to drive to Fort de Soto Park near Saint Petersberg Beach and the traffic was busy so we were glad to arrive around 3 pm. We were lucky to be able to change campsites for the same site for both nights a few spaces down from Valerie and Graham. It was a chilly, windy evening sitting out for happy hour and dinner with them but great catching up since we had not seen each other for a while. The next morning we cooked breakfast and took a walk around the campground before meeting up to drive to tour the fort, walk the fishing pier and the beach, and then along another beach with a view of the Skyway Bridge. It was a beautiful sunny day and we warmed up walking and then stopping at Billie's Stone Crab Restaurant for happy hour margaritas. Then back to the campground to grill out and enjoy another fun evening with friends.
