“Hanginaround”

Crestview Florida April 24 – April 29, 2023
Gulf Shore, Alabama April 29 – May 3, 2023

We had a nice visit with my sister. Steve cooked – and she took the leftovers home (Valorie is not much of a cook). We went out to eat a couple of times. We also went to dinner and played cards with Valorie’s friends Bob and Liz. Not much happens in Crestview, but we had a great time hanging out with Valorie.

We left and spent a few days in Gulf Shores, Alabama at the state park. Despite the fact that the park has almost 500 spots, it is very had to obtain a camp site. We had to move once, and were only here for 4 nights. We stopped in Gulf Shores in 2022 for a month, so I mentioned in that post about the miles of bike trails (Banyon Back Country Trail) in and around the park. On this trip we rode bikes everyday. It was awesome!

We stopped at Big Beach Brewing to listen to a local band. The beer was good, and the band was good, so we had a – you guessed it – a good time!
