Sebastian Inlet State Park, Sebastian, Florida

 We had to wait to check in so we strolled along the inlet before heading to our site which was right on the water front. We walked down to the fishing pier before cooking dinner. We stayed up for the starlink launch at Cape Canaveral which we could see from the south jetty in the park.

We woke up early to walk the beach with our fishing rods. There were plenty of fisherman out and about. We headed to Blueberry Muffin for breakfast before returning to the park to walk to the boat launch and around the park. The no seemums were vicious so we wanted to stay off the trails that went through the brush. We ended the day visiting my sister and then went over to great niece's new house and made our instant pot taco bowls which everyone seemed to enjoy with my homemade guacamole.

Jetty Park Campground, Cape Canaveral, Florida

 We left Venice and headed towards Melbourne before driving over to Cape Canaveral. We had a great site near the water and took a walk around the jetty park and bound beer at the Water's Edge Cafe before cooking dinner. In the morning, a cruise ship had pulled in behind us with it's bow towering over us. We did not want to unhitch so we walked about three miles to the Moon Hut Cafe for a great breakfast. We walked back to Jetty Park and continued on to the beach walking trail and the boardwalks over to jetty park beach. We walked out on jetty park pier that also allowed us to enter the campground from the jetty side.  We headed back towards Indian Harbour Beach stopping at our favorite Diego Dakine Tiki Bar for a taco before heading out to Sebastian.

Oscar Shererer State Park, Osprey, Florida

 We left Ochlocknee State Park in time to meet up with Valerie and Graham at Oscar Scherer State Park at check in time around 3 pm. We set up at the wrong site but enjoyed happy hour and dinner at their campsite and moved in the morning. We ate our last barn muffins with our leisurely coffee at our campsite took to the trails. We had a leisurely lunch, then showered in the new bathhouse and joined up for air fryer chicken wings at our campsite.

We got up early on Wednesday morning and found the Breakfast Cottage for breakfast followed by a beach walk at Nokomis Beach down to the North Jetty Beach before returning to the campsite to pack up.

Ochlockonee River State Park, Sopchoppy, Florida

 After leaving Saint Andrews State Park we followed the Big Bend Scenic Byway stopping in Mexico Beach for breakfast at Shipwreck Raw Bar.  We had bought our annual Florida State Park Pass so we entered Saint George Island State Park with our pass to walk the trail around the Youth Camp Area. We then headed towards Ochlockonee River State Park for the night. We walked down to the river front for happy hour and cooked dinner planning to get up early for a birdwatching hike.

Saint Andrews State Park, Panama City, Florida

 We got an early start having our coffee and banana walnut oat bran muffins on the road to meet up with the Bay County Audubon Society at Gator Lake in Sant Andrews State Park. We had a great bird walk around the lake with Pam and Bob joining us. We then went over to the boat launch and Shell Island Ferry Dock to leave our car and trailer since it was too early to check in before heading over to eat lunch at Bayou Joe's. Pam and Bob dropped us off at the entrance to the park and we walked to the campground. We had a great site on the water and took a walk around the campground and over to the boardwalk leading to an observation deck at sundown before cooking dinner
