Nov 10-12: Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

Ridiculously, we took no photos of this very nice place.  Well, just this cellphone photo of the dog enjoying being outside.

That's a typical campsite.  It's a highly-regarded park and was full on the weekend.  We had fairly chilly weather here, so we never bothered to take the tram to the beach.  One day we spent pretty much inside the trailer. Another day, we went into Destin and Ft. Walton Beach to look at RVs and buy a couple of items for the trailer.  Destin was too frantic for us, traffic-wise.  I don't mean we could not handle it.  Just that when you're on vacation, you don't need that.

Oh, the highlight of the trip was our first ever visit to one of these. (A realtor's photo of a typical one:)

Anyone from the south, go ahead and laugh at us, we deserve it.  :)
Those of us from the north, you know you've seen Waffle Houses "down south", but maybe like us you've never been to one.  Driving from one end of Destin to the other end of Ft. Walton Beach, there are no fewer than FIVE Waffle House restaurants on US 98.  So one morning we left the campground and drove to the closest one.  Breakfast was just fine, thank you. We decided it is a small version of Denny's, but with better service.   Two thumbs up.
