Hi Kathy!
I can't believe I just found this thread! I am leaving NOLA tomorrow for Seagrove and have been reading the beach updates on the forum obsessively for the last week! Thank you for posting all your updates, I cant wait to say:
"I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today."
Too!
Have a great vacation and we'll see you out there!

Hope you are having a wonderful time. We sure are despite the weather.

So after a night with some wonderful SoWal peeps we came back to the condo's and played Guitar Hero until the wee hours of the morning. Off to bed to get some sleep because some of us were going to do the WalCo Eco Tour with our tour guide Murray.

We had a blast even though in poured and gushed rain on us. The kids really enjoyed it. We kayaked Western Lake and made our way over to the dunes at Grayton Beach. The hike in the dune trail was very educational. We learned about the dunes and the native vegetation that grows there. Thank you Murray a wonderful time. I would recommend everyone doing this while they are here. It is 2 hours and well worth the time spent.

When we got back to the condo it was still pouring rain. After getting dried off and warm I decided to take a nap. It turned into a 2 1/2 hour sleep a thon, but it sure felt good. I am not as young as I used to be and all the funn we have had caught up with me.

The surf was incredible today and double red flags kept us out of the water. It didn't seem to stop some people though and a couple of kids got caught in a riptide and Pat one of our group who used to be a lifeguard swam out and rescued one teenage girl. I called 911 because there was someone else out that he could not get to. Another lifeguard showed up about the time the rescue teams did. They were about to pull him to safety. Thank goodness. It scared me to death. I don't know why people do not heed the read flags. It makes no sense to me.

After going and visiting with Jfunn for a few minutes this evening we called in a to go order from Seagrove Village Market. The my oysters and shrimp hit the spot. YUMMY!

Tonight we are just chilling. Hoping that our last day tomorrow we will be able to hit the beach.

:wave:

😀 I live here full time and have for years. but vacation threads like this still make me smile and make me wish I was on the beach on vacation just like YOU! love reading about all of it.

so sorry Crump couldn't make it. please let him know we're all thinking of him.

We'll stop in for a coke, then it's off to another meeting.

We love going to the wine tasting at Wild Olives every Friday from 4-6pm. If you go ask Chef Chris if Ronna is there. It is so fun!

Kurt, I keep getting an error message saying that a security token is missing when I try to upload pictures. What do I do?

Never mind, I figured out it was a size issue...my bad.

KDW I simply adore your travelogues. Tell Kelly (don't know if she's a Sowal boarder or not) we were SO DELIGHTED that she joined us at Writer's Group this week!!:clap:

KDW, Kitty took the picture. I was referring to a certain football player.

Darlene, I absolutely love your pics and report~~~~~

So glad you liked the travelogue. Kelly is for sure the writer in the family, but I do what I can. ;-) She loved the writing group and she said to tell you thank you for asking her to come!

KDW, Kitty took the picture. I was referring to a certain football player.

Yep, Kitty sent the picture. I had forgotten that she had taken it. SWGB, I still don't know what football player you are referring to. I must have killed a few more brain cells that night. :shock:

Darlene, I absolutely love your pics and report~~~~~
Thank you for posting~~~~~~~~

You are most welcome my dear. I sure did enjoy taking them!

Just sent you the pic. Love the ones you've posted. :wub:

Thank you sweet DD, I got it twice. Kitty sent it right before you. :wave:

I have posted some more pictures....I still have many to go.

So, I am a little somber tonight. Back to work tomorrow and still trying to come down from my Sowal high. Again, it was one of the best trips ever. I can't tell you how beautiful the water, sky and surroundings were. Yes, there were storms a lot of the days, but to me they were just as beautiful as a sunny day. It was heaven sitting on that porch listening to the waves and rain.

I am saying a prayer for all the Gulf Coast and for everyone who loves it as much as I do. I prayer for her healing from this awful mess that is looming. However, this is not to send a message for anyone not to go. Please go and enjoy everything SoWal has to offer. It is still just as beautiful as it has always been.

Again, I would like to give a shout out to WalCo Eco Tours and Murray. That trip was one of the best things we did all week. The rain pouring on us was so awesome. To be paddling on one of the most beautiful dune lakes in the world was surreal. Such and educational experience for all of our kids. Not once did they complain about the rain. They loved it as much as we did.

So, until next time, much love to each of you. Safe travels to all that will be traveling to and from SoWal in the next few weeks. I hope you have just as much funn as our tribe did. :wub::wave:

The rain could not stop our funn that is for sure! :wub:
