A few more days at Carrabelle

We were sad to see Crystal, Grant, Avery and Hannah leave Monday morning.  After we had hugged everyone good-bye, I started washing clothes at the campground laundry which took awhile because I decided to wash all the linens and blankets in the camper too.

Since the campground and the beach are nice here, Chuck and I decided to just stay here at Carrabelle and then drive straight to Alliance Coach in Wildwood on Sunday for the slide-out repair.

Late Monday afternoon, we decided to go for a long walk on the beach.  The beach was more crowded than normal with it being Labor Day.  We stopped and talked to a couple of people fishing and watched the birds running along the sand dunes.

We walked as far as we could on the beach to the west and then walked out to the point to the east and then turned around and headed back for a total of about 3 miles.

We sat outside and enjoyed the shade and the breeze for a while and then enjoyed some leftover boiled shrimp for dinner.

On Tuesday morning, we decided to get our walk in on the beach again.  We walked west as far as we could about 3/4 of a mile...

and then turned around and headed east to the point.

At the end of our walk toward the west, there are a lot of cool looking stumps along the edge of the water.

Some of them looked like little volcano islands sitting out in the water.

We walked around the point and noticed a lot of little hermit crabs at the edge of the water.  On the walk back, we saw this starfish washed up on the beach.

It was as big as my flip-flop!

By the time we got back to the camper, we had walked almost 4 miles and Chuck had the blisters to prove it!  I think we'll take a day off from walking tomorrow!
