I thought the "designer towns" would be too cookie cutter looking, but they are quite inviting. <br /><br />Staying west sounds good to us too. We are pretty sure we will be doing the same this next year.

We really have come to love this area. In terms of beaches it is our second favorite after Longboat Key in terms of Florida destinations.

Thanks to you, we are biking further than we ever did before and are starting to feel like twenty miles is nothing--of course, that is mostly on flat terrain!

Not the easiest ride, but it is only about a mile. (Closer would be good, but we like the sewer hook up!) <br /><br />We are not averse to cities, but for some reason New Orleans has not been high on our list. We thought we should give it a go this time. Stay tuned for our candid reviews.

The beach at Destin is indeed lovely. We were staying at Mid-Bay Shores; a military campground nearby and just toured Top Sail as we'd heard so much about it. Perhaps someday we'll stay there ... but it will be a while since we plan to stay west for the time being.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258253640413095518.post-91931162005071387352014-04-18T18:01:47.295-07:002014-04-18T18:01:47.295-07:00You were practically in our back yard:) Our Winni...You were practically in our back yard:) Our Winnie club stays at Topsail every Dec and we take visitors to see Seaside.

We spent the month of April not too far from Topsail. We were two blocks from Miramar Beach at small place called Geronimo RV Park. We always enjoy riding down through all those really cool little towns. The beaches are amazing along there. They are so wide with that squeaky sand. Again another place where you can ride bikes everywhere.<br /><br />Have a good time in New Orleans.

But none of you in the gorgeous water??? We stay in Grayton Beach SP. I like my beaches a little closer to my site than Top Sail provides. Maybe I just take too much stuff down with me. But I spend hours. Do you guys walk it or take the tram? I'm not much for cities, even New Orleans, so I can't wait to go with you.
