Silver Anniversary Road Trip April 2011

We left early Easter Sunday and had our "sunrise service" on I-75, ending with a blow out on a trailer tire when we were just north of Tampa.  Thankfully, a road ranger helped Bob change the tire. Since we didn't have a spare after that, and tires stores were closed for the holiday, Bob drove very slowly.  It took us almost 12 hours to get to St Joe State Park, a beautiful place on a peninsula south of Port St Joe.  Our RV site was a hop, skip and a jump to the boardwalk over the dunes to the Gulf.  The park also had a very nice picnic area near the boat ramp on the bay side.  Bob's knee still wasn't completely healed, so he didn't want to try getting into "Ducky",and it was very windy, probably from the storms further inland.  We fished from shore, but as usual, no luck.  Didn't matter...the views were gorgeous. Tuesday, we went into Port St Joe to see what was there.  I had to get a new cell phone, and it took the tech geeks two hours to get it right.  We tried to find a nice waterfront restaurant, but the closest place was in Mexico Beach, about an hour from the park.  The nearest place we could get tires was Panama City, so we made arrangements to get them on our way to Alabama on Wednesday morning.
