PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I love Boogie Boards! That did bring in more seaweed. yuck! It is wise to keep your little one protected. People don't realize how dangerous the gulf can be at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 No, we don't have boogie boards. It's been raining all day. We went over to Seaside to eat and shop... Trying to make the best of it. Anyway, last night was time for laundry, so here are pictures of the laundry room. It's really clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Water report! After 3 days of rain and no beach, I'm happy to be back in the sand. That said, it's a double red flag day. That means you're not supposed to get in the water, but that doesn't stop some people. They're even flying a plane down the beach with a sign. The good news is that the water is much lower, so there is plenty of beach to play on. Zachary is fine with just building castles and flying kites. Here's what the water looks like.You can tell he's excited to be out here anyway.During all the rain, we created a new sport... Skateboarding with a kid and a solo cup.

stefa70 205 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I love the new sport! Though I can hardly ride a bike, let alone a skateboard. That little one sure looks like his dad (I'm assuming that's Dad?!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm glad to hear that the sun is back out.Boo on the double red flag. That is nothing to mess with, though.This is the time of year that there are always sad stories about rip currents, so be careful out there.I love the Red Solo Cup/Skateboard/Kid photo. Nice!TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yes Stef, that's dad. :) TCD, I'm amazed that parents are still letting their young kids in the water. Z is content playing on the beach, and there's a pool for those who want to swim. I don't understand taking the risk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Looks like dad and son were having a blast with the new Toby Keith/Stef sponsored sport! The beach/ocean pics look gorgeous. Too bad about the no swimming but seems it is not dampening your son's spirits! Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Back to yellow flag!Oh, and here are some of the cabins available for rent. I thought those might interest some folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 15 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 have you gone to the outlet mall just down the road? my wife kept me there for a full day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H in SC 85 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Always wanted to camp there, now all the more. Thanks for sharing. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 So now that I'm home a little update...1) Sorry for never taking bathroom pics. I know tent (there are tent sites) and popup folks want those. I kept meaning to get over there this trip but never did. In my past experiences, they are really clean. And there is one on each loop, I think.2) We plan on going back the first 2 weeks of June FOREVER, so let me know if you book during that time.3) Golf carts... we had never seen them, and our friends hadn't either, but we did this trip. They're allowed everywhere except the path to the beach. To me, that means there's no point in renting one since the campground isn't huge. I love looping at the Fort, but this wouldn't be like that. But, I talked to a guy who had a handicap daughter, and it really helped them going to the pool and driving around. They also had a motorized beach wheelchair that she could ride in place of the tram and would travel on the sand too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks Carol. How was the weather? Were you warm enough?? I'm really praying that the sun is out and temps climb up a bit for us this weekend.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really praying that the sun is out and temps climb up a bit for us this weekend....Saturday evening was the warmest. The rain quit about the time we arrived and the evening was pleasant. Our heater in the camper kept us toasty inside. If we had taken the time to do so, we have a heater that sits on top of a 20 lb propane tank that we could have used outside on Sunday night. It probably dropped to low 40s Monday morning and it was a bit nippy, but I was getting warm as we broke down and was able to be in shirtsleeves until we got almost home. We did winterize just before leaving which really means only my sink so no issues there. Sunday was mostly cloudy all day, but pleasant. We didn't visit the beaches. We had other things we were doing. The campground was really just a place for us to sleep, and the only place I could book online late Friday night for Sat and Sun.

We're not planning to visit the beaches (except to take a peak so we know what's there)... but if we were blessed with some decent weather, the kids might spend an hour or so digging in the sand (away from the water... too cold!!). It does look like a nice campground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 It was fun re-reading the whole thread. Little Z sure was/is a cutie. Loved the skate board game! The few times I've been in the gulf in the winter it felt warm to me, but of course Top Sail is farther north. Thanks for posting about your quick trip Carol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
