GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 It is double red today, but it doesn't look like the wind will be too bad, and the rain will be tonight. I think we're going to head to the Track for some fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we're going to head to the Track for some fun. Sounds like a good plan. The storm should blow through some time tonight. Hopefully, it will suck all the moisture out of the Gulf with it. You will have some good boogie boarding waves tomorrow. Time to get Z on one of those. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 So am I reading correctly that the state took title to the campground through a foreclosure? Interesting.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 It is interesting. I wonder who the guy that the campground part is names after is.... I'll have to write down his name next time I drive by, so we can find out. The Track was a no-go. Way too much traffic into Destin. We went to the outlet mall instead because Z needed some shoes for a wedding. Somehow that turned into Jason getting a portable Bluetooth Bose speaker. Happy early Father's Day to him!!!! Date night tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Ooo, I love your date nights! I can't wait to read about another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kampfirekim 260 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Oh Wow! That place looks more beautiful with every photo you post! It seems very family/kid friendly also. H said that he tried and tried to get me to give Topsail a try to no avail... now Kelly talks it up a little, posts a few photos and I'm all over it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ooo, I love your date nights! I can't wait to read about another one. It was a short one, and I didn't take many pictures, so I'm probably going to disappoint you. We had a great time though. Oh Wow! That place looks more beautiful with every photo you post! It seems very family/kid friendly also. H said that he tried and tried to get me to give Topsail a try to no avail... now Kelly talks it up a little, posts a few photos and I'm all over it! Ha ha ha! You really should try it. It's super kid-friendly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 OK, we left off when we were about to go on a date night. We went to Vue, named because, I bet you can guess... they have a very nice view of the water. We had a drink before dinner on the patio. They had live music. It would have been nice to eat out there, but it was too loud to really talk. This was the view while having drinks. We split a Caprese salad. It was excellent. Jason ordered a special cut of ribeye that was on special, and I ordered the whole fried read snapper. He was somewhat underwhelmed with his steak, but my fish was excellent. After some wine, it was time to head back. Today was a beach day. I was enjoying my view of the water when something unusual happened. A family just came and plopped their stuff in front of us. Now, the beach at Topsail is not one of those places where you have rows and rows of chairs. It's a one row deal. No one sets up in front of other people. But these people did. I was mad. Now I was looking at the backs of people instead of my ocean. And it made it difficult to see Z playing. So guess what I did.... Yep, I plopped my chair about 5 feet in front of them. That's me in my blue chair. Ha ha ha! Jason was laughing so hard. The lady finally moved over (because I was blocking her view). I left my chair there anyway though. She also changed her and her daughter into their bathing suits on the beach, right in front of us, but that's another story. It was time to teach Z to boogie board. The waves weren't as big as we thought they'd be. He caught on and loved it. We took him to the sandbar for bigger waves. Selfie! There were lots of interesting little fish and sand crabs today. Z met some girls who were happy to catch them for him. No surprise there. After the beach we went to the Crab Trap for dinner. It's overpriced, but we love the view and the playground while we wait. No pictures from that. Sorry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cypressaggie 0 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was able to get 4 nights at Top Sail on our way home from Disney, right after the 4th of July, couldn't believe it. Can't wait for the beach, to do nothing and relax. Keep on posting, love reading them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 That lady belongs on the Jackwagon thread...or whatever I had called that thread that started with the idiot in line for TT that pushed Aaron's son. What a stupid fool! All that beach and she sits in front of you? And then proceeds to change her clothes? Was she from another land? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think my chair scared her husband away though. They even swam down the beach where there were open spots. That pissed me off more. But after I put my chair there, I just laughed about it.

Ok Grumpy AKA Cindy~~ 9 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is there a GG for Memorial Day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Troll 67 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Oh man, Seaside! Those photos are hard for me to take! That is my favorite place in the world! Sorry, I even like it better than the Fort. Y'all didn't do the photo op near Taco Bar right. This is how it's done: Yes, that is me being the dog way down at the bottom. Do you know Troll from ff.net lives near there? Him and Mrs. Troll have been known to visit Seaside. Next time you're there, check under the bridge over Western Lake. TCD Yes, indeed, Seaside and Topsail are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Troll Cave. We spend lots and lots of time camping at Topsail. But like it BETTER than the Fort? I don't know about that, now. The Topsail campground is the #2 campground in the US, in my book. It's kind of like a Fort away from Fort, to me. Alright old man, look back at my pictures. We did take that picture but just Z is in it. He had to wrestle a kid to get that much.Oh troll, come out come out wherever you are.... Jason and I can get a babysitter (our friends are in the campsite next to us) and meet for drinks.... Ordinarily, Mrs. Troll and I would take you up on this offer, but I'm afraid Mrs. Troll is out of town on business right now. Next time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Is there a GG for Memorial Day? Yes, it's in TN. There is a thread on the Grand Gathering section with all the info. Yes, indeed, Seaside and Topsail are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Troll Cave. We spend lots and lots of time camping at Topsail. But like it BETTER than the Fort? I don't know about that, now. The Topsail campground is the #2 campground in the US, in my book.

Next time. We're here every June for a couple of weeks. I'm jealous you LIVE in this area and get to camp here regularly. Any restaurant suggestions? The two-tier Memorial Day trip would be awesome! It would!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

campingdawgs 4 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 We just go back from Grayton Beach yesterday. It is the same there, you don't set up on the beach in front of someone. There is no reason to, anyway. There were all of five families on the beach at the busiest times (the times we finally had a yellow flag instead of double red!) I think I would have done the same as you!We also ate at the Local Catch. It was good, but our favorite was Stinky's Fish Camp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was going to post a rainy day update yesterday, but the site was down. I couldn't really complain about the rain because we did avoid a tropical storm. So let's do a quick update before I watch the Game of Thrones finale. Who is this person and why is the campground section named after him? Let's look at more sites.... Site 5- Tiny and no shade, dislike 102... in my favorite section. It's a pull-thru but has a lot more privacy than the ones I didn't like. 167... very similar to 102 This kid is cute. Relaxing That night... I guess it was Saturday, we went to Rum Runners for dueling pianos. Apparently, it's also a cougar bar. All these older, local ladies were hitting on the men- even the ones with their wives. Interesting. Sunday it rained, and rained, and rained. Today it rained on and off. Again, can't really complain because it's been so nice. We went shopping. Tomorrow, we're taking a boat to Crab Island. That's always one of my favorite days of the trip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
