St Andrews FL State Park - 2013

The Pearl and the Dutchman... together again.
Jed Clampet would be proud
This is site 141, we camped here one night before moving to #74.    Rookie booking mistake caused this.  Our first time camping multiple campgrounds back to back.   Site 74 was definatly worth the trouble.



Star Fish and Stone Crab ... Anyone??

This is our favorite site #74,  a little breezy but nothing major.  
Frog legs anyone?




The morning catch





This Harring was a frequent visitor next to our camp site.   He could stand dead still for a long time.  My guess is that he's an ambush hunter.  

What kind of bird was that?



Never pay for a hermit crab.... they are everywhere in Florida.   The gift shops always advertise "Free Hermit Crabs".... they don't advertise that you have to buy a 10 dollar plastic cage to get the free crab... LOL

My daughter is an Ambush Hunter as well.
FL Fish bate....if the fish aren't biting, you've still got dinner. 
These little guys are everywhere as well.   Not much meat on them though.... 





Sand Mermaid
Catching a wave

Boardwalk across the dunes to the beach

We're big Captain America fans... cant you tell
Girl Scouts always practice fire safety. 



St Joeseph Peninsula FL State Park 2013

St Joeseph has 2 campgrounds, we stayed at Gulf Breeze #3
Gulf Breeze was the better in my opinion... it has 2 bath houses. 

The sites in the campgound are perfectly level.... Used the BAL for wheel chocks only.  
Morning Coffee.... 
Across those dunes is the ocean... Awsome to listen to at night.


Crabbing starts at sunset

the famous FIREPOWER pose
Showing off "THE GUNS"

Killer Dunes.... The beach goes on and on and on.... Never made it to the point, thats next years quest.
Late night blue crab snack.   We threw back the females.
Those guys on Deadliest Catch aint got nothing on us.

They make a great team, crabs don't have a chance.
TALK Gecko TALK.... he was speechless, I'm sticking with State Farm.
Snorkling on the bay side
Even Sea Urchin's aren't safe 
Ever try finding your daughters lost net in a bay this big??  Lost Forever :( 

Beach Side
Let me tell you about the one that got away... 

Taking a break under the canopy
Found these at Wally World for 5 bucks.... Well worth it.  

Ok, I look like a Hillbilly but at least my neck never burned.
