Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL


It was another beach day and our last full day at Fort De Soto Park. The ladies wish was to spend our last day at the beach. There were quite a few people at the beach today and lots of colorful umbrellas and shelters.   As big as this beach is it was still not very crowded. Jocelyn met a young girl her age and the two of them spent hours in the water. It was all we could do to drag her away at the end of the day.
















I thought you might like a few pictures of the campground. A bayou divides the campground, and many campsites are on the water. The water is deep enough that campers can tie boats up at their campsite in this area.
































I mentioned earlier that the sites are pretty private. Here is a shot of our campsite as seen from the site across the road. Unless you look directly in the entrance of the site you would not see us, and visa versa.
















On our final evening Jocelyn did the sunset conch salute and did a fine job of saluting our last day in camp.






















I asked her if she wished to contribute to the blog by saying how she enjoyed the trip:

“It was fun at the park. I went to the beach three times, went snorkeling, and even met a new friend. I also went bike riding. I got scraped up by shells today. I saw a crab. Yesterday fish were swimming with me. The new friends I met are named Alexis (Lexi) and her little brother Jacob. It was fun camping.” Jocelyn Arcara, age 8.

We enjoyed having Jocelyn with us and had a great time at the park. When Barbara read Jocelyn’s statement she said that she sees a crab everyday. What do you think she meant by that? You can see TODAY’s crab and other photos in the gallery.
