Trip recap from last week

Just a quick recap from last week's vacation ...

Stayed in Seacrest so we hit the beach in Rosemary most of the time. Pretty much went down there every day until Thursday when I noticed a bullshark swam by about a foot in front of me ... stayed out of the water after that.

Took a day trip east on Wednesday. We didn't quite make it to Apalachicola like we wanted to, but we got down to St. Joseph State Park and had a great time. Ate at Toucan's in Mexico Beach, which was delicious.

Rented some mountain bikes from Big Fish on Friday and rode through Point Washington. Got to see 2 deer.

Speaking of food, I think everywhere we ate was absolutely top notch. We hit some of our usual spots, such as Bud & Alley's & Shades and had breakfast every morning at either Summer Kitchen or Cowgirl Kitchen. But we were able to check out some new spots for us.

Ate at George's and had a fantastic dinner. Discovered the Parisian bakery place in Watercolor (name escapes me at the moment). Wife had probably the best quiche she's ever eaten. Though, I think the best dinner we had the entire visit was at Seerings. The entertainment was off the charts, food was delicious. Dessert? Had the chocolate piano, which was quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen

Anywho, just wanted to thank everybody on here for the input, insight, suggestions and whatnot. It always makes the trip that much more enjoyable.

Great trip report. You must have just missed the FBI/IRS raid at Toucan's last Wednesday.
