Waiting on the Robinsons

On Wednesday morning, we decided to get our walk in by first walking around the campground and then walking down the sidewalk in front of the campground.  As we walked west along Hwy 98, the sidewalk ended and a bike trail began.

The bike trail ended about a mile west at the entrance to the Crooked River Lighthouse.  We didn't even know Carrabelle had a lighthouse.  It is not located right on the beach but back in the woods about 250 yards from the beach.

The lighthouse was built in 1895 and was operational for 100 years until 1995 when it was decommissioned.  However, in 1999, the Carrabelle Lighthouse Association was formed to restore, preserve and open the lighthouse to the public.  By 2009, the lighthouse was re-opened and serves as an aid to navigation once again.

After walking around the lighthouse, we headed back to the campground.  Looks like it's going to be a hot sunny day.

Since Crystal, Grant and their girls were driving down after work today and staying with us through the Labor Day weekend, I wanted to get caught up on our laundry. Normally, I do our laundry with our Splendide washer/dryer on board but I knew I could get it done much faster at the campground's laundry.  The laundry was clean and very inexpensive at only $1.25 per wash and $1.25 per dry and I had it all done in about 1 1/2 hours.  :)

Later Tuesday evening, Chuck and I walked over to the beach to check it out.  

As I was walking around the beach, I stopped and took a picture of what I thought was a jellyfish thinking we will really have to watch out for jellyfish when Avery is walking on the beach. When I looked at the picture later on my computer, I noticed a small triangle recycle symbol and realized I had taken a picture of the bottom of a clear 2 liter bottle and not a jellyfish.  :)

The sun was starting to set so we headed back to the camper.  

Crystal, Grant, Avery and Hannah safely arrived about 1:30 am.  We had the two pac-n-plays and the sofa bed ready so they could go straight to sleep as soon as they got here.  But we were all so excited, I don't think any of us got much sleep that night!
