Florida trip - Topsail Hill - final days



A few final notes about the state park campgrounds we stayed at on this trip:

We would highly recommend any of these campgrounds. Our personal favorite was Grayton Beach for it's smaller size, proximity to the beach, and ease of getting around to Seaside and Grayton Beach. But we still hope to stay at each of them again! We also saw people from each of the states with the exception of North and South Dakota, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii. There were several people from Canada at each of the campgrounds. We saw campers of all shapes and sizes- motorhomes, fifth wheels, regular pull along campers, camper vans, tent campers. We saw several airstreams. We even saw one tiny house at Grayton Beach and really saw how cumbersome it was to set up. We met a few full timers and some of these were actually staying in smaller campers.  Most of the people were retirees but we saw a few families with smaller children. We realized how popular Florida was in the winter! And even though the weather was mild at each of the campgrounds and not really swimming weather, that may be what many prefer (we do!)

A few days before our Florida trip was over we visited the Crab Trap in Destin again - this time for dinner. We saw the sunset from our table and it was lovely.








The day before we left we went back to Seaside to eat at Pickles- which claims to be famous for their fried pickles. We didn't try them but we did have an awesome burger and fries. I also had their milkshake, for which I paid a hefty price of $7.99. Still, it was delicious.
