AUGUST 2009

Fort DeSoto Park is a treat. Located south of St. Pete,FL, it's a county park with RV sites, beaches, boat launches, bike trails, and a historic fort. We'd heard good things about it and finally had a chance to make reservations (on-line, way in advance) and weren't disappointed. Though it's a bit hot in the summer time, the campground provides 50 amp service, so you don't have to rough it when you don't want to. Especially nice are the sites, most of which are waterfront.




We enjoyed 5 days of sun and fun, riding our bikes to the beach and swimming in the bay.





When we left Fort DeSoto, we headed to Lake Worth on the east coast of FL (Palm Beach County) to visit with Jee-Won and Tommy (and dog, Charlie). We stayed in another great county park - John Prince Memorial Park. This park borders a lake, so we had waterfront once again. It was a quick visit, but we managed to find enough time to play a few games and have breakfast on the beach which has become a tradition on our visits.
