Holt, FL

River's Edge Campground in Holt sits along the edge of the Yellow River. This year we found that the river had edged into the campground. We estimated that the river overflowed its banks by 25 yards or so, basing it in on where the lightpoles and picnic tables were located. Would've made for a good one-way paddle...or, I should say, float with the current carrying logs downstream at a pretty good clip.
But the azaleas were in bloom and were quite stunning.
We drove to Fort Walton Beach on Saturday to check out the beaches. It had been years since I've visited this section of the coast, and although I hadn't forgotten the white-sand beaches and emerald-green waters, it still took our breath away.

We were trying to figure out who the crazy people were...us in our fleece and gloves...or some other people in shorts or t-shirts or flipflops. It was 37 degrees that morning when we started our drive down! I know it's all relative to what you're used to...

On the way home, we stopped at the US Air Force Armament Museum. They had a number of planes, bombs, and missiles on display inside and outside their building. The SR-71 Blackbird was Andy's favorite. It holds the highest elevation record at 85,000' and the speed record at mach 3.2. It went from Wash DC to LA in one hour and four minutes.
