Day 15 - St. Andrews State Park
[Jessie] This
morning I woke up and my parents were already up making French toast at my
request. I love French toast! We ate our breakfast then got back on the road.
We drove for about an hour and 20 minutes. It would have been a shorter drive
but the traffic was terrible. Finally we arrived at St. Andrews State Park
(which is also a beach so how was I supposed to know what it was called?) and
got out of the motorhome. We went to go explore the beach to see if we should
go to a different one or if we should stay here, and the beach looked nice so
we stayed. Mom was very concerned [Dad taking over the writing here] about the
surf, but after I checked it out we all eventually went in. It was dark and stormy, but the water was
warmer than any ocean water I’ve ever felt (had to be 84 or 85). There was lots of algae in the water, but it
was still very pleasant. Eventually it
started raining and we ate sandwiches under a covered picnic area. I went for a quick run along the beach in the
rain and then we drove to our campsite.
It was on the lagoon side of the peninsula right up against the
water. It rained for a couple of hours,
so we took showers and read inside.
After it stopped, Patty and I took a walk for a couple of miles along
the water through the campground.
We fixed dinner and ate outside.
