What Part of the Beach Is Yours?

[Miss Kitty]

Since we own at High Pointe it's Seacrest during the day and Grayton in the evenings. If the kids get bored with Seacrest we go to Grayton 2-3 times during the day.

Glad to see you are doing your part to conserve GAS!

Only a Tuscaloosan would think cinder block is old Florida. Very Panama City Old Florida.

Then what is your definition of it, smart guy?

camp helen (avondale mills old retreal) is now a state park near phillips inlet and is the grand old dame of cinder block and rain barrel (ahhh, the memories of the rain barrel! brrrrr!). enjoy!

if you don't have a date palm (you know, the palm trees like what they have in florida....) yet, shame on you. next summer trip, grab a ripe (if they are green, don't bother - should be orange-yellow) date off a tree you like, eat the date (you must eat the date or it won't work!), stick the seed 1/4" down in beach sand with a little potting soil mixed in, and voil'a, you will have you own marvelous florida palm tree - or you could just buy one for 50 bucks if you have more money than brains. I did two this august and they've started coming up - just noticed it this morning (ooooooh..wiggle!)

AB, are you saying it took about two months for those date palm seeds to germinate? If they grow as slowly as that you'll be long in your grave before you see what you could have bought for 50 bucks! Remember, time is money. :funn:

And I have spent a lot of time spending money :funn:

Ahhh, but the one I did 5+ years ago is a WHOPPER - we wrestled in into another monster pot with a even bigger caster thingy with bigger wheels (they gotta come in for the winter - and requires a plant grow light and drip watering system all by itself).

Alas, I have no money these days since I took this new job - but I have plenty of time to be bored off my keester since the fishes pretty much do for themselves! I'm thinking of taking up some hobby over the winter, but I just don't know what it would be. I've done pretty much everything I'm interested in. Something warm would be nice, from the way they're talking about the winter being a rough one this year. I wonder...

Start a new post in the Lounge, AB, asking for hobby suggestions! You know you'll get a mouthful of ideas there.

We've been staying at the same house in Seagrove for the past four years. My daughter is only 5 -- she thinks the house is ours!!
Always asks, when are we going back to our big yellow house! :clap_1:

We have stayed at Seagrove Beach for the past 7 years. At Seagrove Villa's and Motel. (Yes, the same one that is building the Seawall). My sister, son and I stay in the same room every year. We have 6 other families that take up the rest of the bottom floor of the building. We love it there. It is very small and our kids pretty much have the run of the place. I hope it survives!!! It will be so sad for all of us if it doesn't!

Dune Allen, Blue Mountain, Santa Rosa, Miramar, Seagrove. Although we have stayed at the same place more than once, we move around based on # of people vacationing and gulf front house availability.

This is us, too. We tend to shop for a house that suits our needs first, location is secondary. So, we've stayed all up and down 30-A. I have to admit, though, we've logged the most time in Seagrove. And Dune Allen--just as someone else said--was a little too far away from everything for me.
