Cape San Blas

In need of a get away, a few weeks ago we took a road trip to Cape San Blas. We had been there before when we lived in Panama City, but had not been back since. We thought it would be a great day trip for the kids. We stopped in Mexico Beach for lunch at one of our old favorites, Toucan's. A lot has changed in 13 years, but the food was still good and the view over the Gulf of Mexico is gorgeous.

Cape San Blas has changed a lot in 13 years also. This picture does not begin to show the amount of trees covering the beaches in some places. It was truly an obstacle course to get down the beach to where we wanted to go, the kids loved it.

A rare shot of all three.

  The lighthouse and old lightkeepers quarters.
 On our first trip down here years ago those houses were located on the beach, closer to the water, and about to collapse. Over the years they were moved and repaired, although I can see a big decline from the last time we saw them. Hurricanes and storms sure take a toll on them.

Seriously, can you believe how blue that sky is?! Gorgeous!

  We are usually always prepared with a bucket to collect seashells.

Cutter loved all the climbing and balancing.

 

 

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.
