On the Road Again - A Beautiful Coastal Road

Most of this is excerpted from a note I sent my brother, yesterday.....

We drove from Panama City Beach to Panacea - we only stopped in Apalachacola for lunch at the Apalachacola Seafood Grille (recommended strongly by my brother's wife, Liz). Geoff had the "Largest Seafood Sandwich" which was cod bites piled high and Ellyn had a fried grouper sandwhich. Both were great but Ellyn concluded that the Grouper was more tastey. We, then, walked around the block. It was a very quaint historic seeming town to visit - but it was fairly hot for walking around too much. We liked seeing the real fishing boats and also looked in the windows at the closed print shop plus took a few photos. We'll have to get back there to spend more time, I think. Next, we drove on to Holiday RV park on the water in Panacea, FL. We went for the dip in the pool and will generally just hang out here this evening (great view). Today, our plans are to drive to Wakula Springs and to the Costco in Talahasee then drive towards the Atlantic Coast. We have reservations on Jekyll Island for 3 nites starting Sunday. Then, onto the raceway in Charlotte with plans to arrive there on the 21st - in time for Geoff's big birthday on the 22nd. We have liked the Panhandle coast and do hope to get back here again.
