Blue Mountain Beach trip report 9/8-9/14

I delayed writing this because I was trying not to face up to vacation being over. We had such a good time- and we really didn%26#39;t go anywhere other than the beach. More cooking at the condo this year (thanks to other folks- not me!) and yes, pizza delivery TWICE!

Well, OK, once out for lunch to Seaside at Bud and Alley%26#39;s, once out to dinner at D%26amp;K%26#39;s in Grayton Beach and a little bit of shopping and lunch again (Pickle%26#39;s) in Seaside and Grayton Beach.

We love the Zoo Gallery in GB (www.thezoogallery.com)- so many cute t-shirts and other things. That%26#39;s when we stopped at the Red Bar and met some nice folks- wish we had spent more time there when a band was playing. There%26#39;s never enough time on vacation, is there?

The beach was gorgeous, saw very few jellies or seaweed. This was our best year ever for dolphin watching. It is so mesmerizing to watch them so close in to the shore! Kept watch for sharks- didn%26#39;t see any but, as we all know, they are out there somewhere ;-)

DH and our cousin snorkled around in the surf quite a bit, sometimes the water was clear, other times stirred up by the surf- they didn%26#39;t care, they are like big boys out in the water.

Only made it to Blue Orleans one day during lunch for a mimosa- yum! Must add another week to the vacation plans!

I will post some pictures.

Blue Mountain Beach trip report 9/8-9/14

I have always been amazed at how many Texans go there! Just look how many folks who post here are from Texas.

My first trip was in %26#39;79, when I was in college, and I can still remember that sense of wonder, staring at the beach and hearing the surf in the moonlight. No matter how much the area changes, the beach is the thing....

Hey, poodle- you are talking about my neck of the woods. Great times at D%26amp;K%26#39;s. Glad you had such a nice trip. Loved the pictures of the water with the clouds.
