We "crashed" my parents' camping trip in Eastpoint. This was the view from the site - right on a main road, but it was so pretty to look at!
lol - the goofs.
It's right near St. George Island and Apalachicola. The beaches there are like the white sand and SO pretty, and no one was really there.
Always shell hunting or crab finding.
Found a dead crab that was whole! It was pretty impressive!
I love lighthouses - this one was on St. George island.
We also went to the Nature center - it was actually really cool! And FREE! I like free lol
but they had TONS of animals to see (stuffed or preserved, and in aquariums)
My girls know how to make things fun where ever they go. lol
Oh, Autumn 😅
The, they took us to a place called "Hold in the Wall." It had FOUR tables, total lol - and it was run by people who would rather sit and have conversations with you than have a high turnover rate, which I love. AND they had the best prices for oysters.
This is the place where Autumn had her first oysters! It was baked, not raw, but she enjoyed them!
My dad explaining to Caroline how to eat an oyster - she wasn't too sure about it.
Caroline and Brooklynn, analyzing their food, as always - ha!
BUT...they ate it! And they said they'd even do it again! I call that a win, because Brooklynn us THE pickiest easter, textures and her do NOT get along.
This was one of the "shrimping boats" that were docked. We got to talk with a few locals about how things are run, it's quite interesting!
but the highlight was all the "crabbing" they got to do during low tide!
You can't see it, but when it's low tide, you can walk out for like a mile and it's still at your ankles! We were finding all kinds of little animals - conchs, hermit crabs, actual crabs,
These are baby conchs, you can kind of see the animal sticking out a bit.
Little black crabs that were all over the beach
And when it was "high tide" (again, still super shallow), they took the floats out and just played around in the water - where there's water, that's where you'll find the girls!
Then, we spent a whole day shopping in downtown Apalachicola. You could really spend the whole day shopping there. Such a neat downtown area!
Autumn was inspired by some of the art there and did some painting one night.
The last night we were there, low tide was going happen around 1:00 a.m., so my mom and I decided it'd be a good idea to wake up around 12:30 and take Autumn out - lol.
But man, that moon was beautiful on the water!!
One adventure down, so many more to go!
