Henderson Beach State Park (Florida) 2014

What can I say..... Henderson Beach SP is our favorite place to camp.  Two years straight and got reservations for next year already...  Where else can you be right in the middle of one of Florida's most popular vacation towns, but not even know it when your in the campground.  Its the best of both worlds.  Not to mention what the people booking rooms are paying for one night, we can book a whole week for.    Bonus.... Walmart is directly across the street from the park entrance.   Beat that!!! 

We booked 5 nights at spot #47,  I don't think there is a bad spot in the whole campground. 

The nature trail path from the bath house to the board walk... 1/4 mile. 

The board walk to the beach... its 1/4 mile long but the walk way is made of composite (Plastic) wood so it doesn't splinter ... nice when if your going barefoot.   The campground has its own section of the beach where its far enough away from the public side and the hotels that it never gets crowded.

After lugging everything 1/2 mile to the beach on my shoulder last year... I broke down and bought a cheap cart....  30 dollars and worth every penny!!!!   I wouldn't complain even if it only lasted for this trip....   The kids rode their bikes to the board walk.....   See what I mean... "Every Penny"

Pretty much a red flag day the whole time we were there..... still "big waves are more fun than no waves"  No matter how tough you think you are,   They will knock you on your butt. 

One nuclear bomb and this little guy turns into Godzilla....   LOL   
They'll have to make a sequel.

The kids even tried to catch these gators.....  Fearless I tell you.

I told them, they can't bring it home....  didn't deter them one bit.

Went for dinner at the famous Fudpuckers.....  Food was awesome and what a beer can collection. Bringing a sharpie next time.. its graffiti central in there.

Kids doing the "YES CHANT" from WWE.... before the waves hit. 

You can have your boogie boards .... I'll take my 5 dollar floaty chair any day of the week... :)

3rd vacation to Florida and Canopy still holding up.... others can have those umbrellas, I'll take this over an umbrella any day....

Fire Power at Sunset....

Nightly Gun Shows at the beach

Henderson isn't much of a Crabbing beach that's for sure.... but there are plenty of Sand Fleas to catch. 

Hanging out waiting for the sunset.....

After the park closes.... Campers have the whole beach to yourself....  Its awesome...

Ok... looked like rain was coming in so we headed back to the camper for Movie Night...

Every Night is Red Box Movie Night at our camp site.... LOL 

Didn't get to explore the nature trail at the park last year so this year... "what the heck"...  You'd never know you were in the middle of a tourist central....

Photo Bomb.... Oh Yeah!!!   A dad's gotta do what a dad's gotta do...

trust me... she'll get even.. 

The only bad thing I can say about Henderson..... "Squirrels"   They aren't your Nut Eating Kind... but the Trash eating kind.... must be mixed with coons ??? 

The Pearl and The Dutchen off to calmer waters....
Bye Henderson.... Had a Blast.... See you next year...
