5 days of camping w/ the family and the dog.

We took the scenic trip up the gulf coast of florida to Pensacola.
The usual 8hr drive (by interstate) turned into a 13 hr drive.   5 hrs
to go 100 miles along the now tourist coast of Panama City, Destin,
Ft. Walton Beach then into Pensacola.    But it was enjoyable.

After 13 hrs in the truck - my butt hurt.  :)

We stayed at Big Lagoon State Park.   Its right on the bay in Pens so
surrounded by water.   Lots of trails leading from the campground,
thru the sand dunes and down to the beaches.   So we could walk to the
beach and frollic in the water.

Food wise, I packed the usual camping supplies.   From boiled red
potatoes and eggs to make egg salad, coleslaw, pasta salad, fresh
veggies w/ dip.   meats - chicken, hamburg, hotdogs and shiskbobs.

Over the weekend the 3 of us didn't even finish 1 whole bag of chips.
Although we did go thru about 4 hershey bars and half a bag of
marshmellows for smores.   :)

All in all - I came back and weighed in today no differently than any
other weekend - a few lbs of water retention that should be gone in a
day or so.  

It was rather enjoyable.
