Back to Destin, Florida

Couldn't talk my wife out of it. She insisted on going back to Destin for spring break 2017. I wanted to head further south. But unfortunately, I was able to squeeze 4 nights in at Grayton Beach SP (amongst 2 different sites) and 3 nights at Topsail Hill Preserve SP. Oh well will give some new content to the YouTube channel. lol

Looked at Camp Gulf, but at their rate of anything from $85-192/nite, we are staying 7 nights for less than $280. Can't beat the savings. Gas there and back will cost me $500 let alone....lol

    It's not bad during Spring Break...you don't get the college kids too much in that area. They normally stay more over near panama city beach, where it can get more rowdy. Spring Break in the Santa Rosa area is more families than anything. And with schools having different spring break weeks, you don't get a bunch at once. I know when we've been down there before and our daughter was out for spring break, that their schools were in session.

    Well we just added a couple more nights to our trip to Destin. We will be checking out Manatee Springs State Park (Florida) for a couple nights on our way to the Destin area...

    Come on Spring, hurry up and get here!
