Today was our last day in Destin. The state park campground is so popular it fills up a year in advance. I lucked out and found three days together, so we found other places on the first and last day. We were moving to a KOA in Perdido Key. It was fairly close to the first place in Big Lagoon, but it had a pool so I decided to check it out. I have since learned the KOA must mean Kamping with Others in a small Area? In short I didn't really care for the KOA. I prefer my own campsite sorta away from others. Eddie did like that it had a dump station next to each site, so that was convenient, but not enough benefit for me to stay at another KOA. And to make matter worse we didn't even make it to the pool, and I made us miss the ice cream social. Live and learn.
Since we were on the bay, I thought it would be a good place to catch hermit crabs. We walked down there with our flashlights, buckets and nets, but there were no crabs to be found. It was a nice walk, and there was beautiful full moon. Too bad I forgot my camera.
Even though we didn't find any hermit crabs to take home as pets, I bought the kids these yellow belly turtles. They are so cute.
Meet Squirt, he has 4 black dots on his belly, and a yet to be named turtle with 2 spots on her belly.
