WHAT WAS I THINKING . . .

I'll start with the end of our day and work back to this morning. Since the seafood was so good the other day we went back to Skip One today. I really wanted the shrimp the other day but they persuaded me into getting the pan grilled snapper special of the day. My goal today was shrimp! 

Wouldn't you know it that today's special was ALL YOU CAN EAT SHRIMP! When do you ever see a restaurant have an all you can eat special? When have I ever gotten an all you can eat platter? I am so miserable. I don't want anymore shrimp for awhile. I can't even post a picture of the shrimp from today. But here's more stone crab claws. What was I thinking?!

Midday was spent with Jett. Since we have been so busy there has been no time to explore the park. We took a few hikes and enjoyed the afternoon. Jett especially liked sitting on the shore of the Estero River watching the kayaks and canoes paddle by. 

Breakfast was early, short, sweet and easy. Just coffee, Danish and cookies. This event is now over and everyone who had camped in the settlement had to depart today. It was nice to have everyone together in in one place this morning to make saying goodbye easy. Jett came with us and got to see her new friends one last time. 

Overall Jett did really well on this trip. It was great being able to expose her to our group, other dogs and crowds everyday. She has made new puppy friends here about her age that she will continue to see and will be her friends through out her life. The more I socialize her and get her in different environments the better prepared we are for anything in the future. We had several compliments on how well behaved she was for just being seven months old. Maybe, just maybe my hard work and dedication to her is paying off?

Here it is November, just after dark and it's still eighty-one degrees outside. It's been a scorcher here. Ninety degrees for a high everyday we've been here and a low of just seventy-two degrees. All those in their vintage trailers have been miserable in this heat. Most don't have AC and if they do have AC there's not enough power to run it. They are only supplied with rally power meaning just enough to keep the batteries charged and run a fan. We on the other hand had to camp in the regular campground with our non-vintage Airstream where we have full water and 30 amp electric hook-ups. I so couldn't tell them that the temperature inside our Airstream drops to 67* inside at night. I guess this is one year to be grateful we didn't have our (no AC) vintage 1948 Airstream down here.
