Camp Gordon Johnston Days Parade!
Our
goal while traveling is to spend time in small towns and get to know
the people who live there. We really enjoyed attending the Camp Gordon
Johnston Days parade in Carrabelle, Florida. This yearly event and
parade honors WWII veterans who practiced here to prepare for the battle
of Normandy. It was an honor to pay tribute to these brave soldiers
and to be part of this special event.
We
crossed the large bridge and went to St. George's Island. We wanted to
take a look at the State Park Campground. It was nice but a good walk
to the beach. Plus, there wasn't a whole lot to do on the Island. It
is a busy park though and is booked up way in advance.
We wanted to have a fish supper somewhere on St. George's Island but finally ended up at the recently opened The Beach Pit in
Eastpoint. What a nice surprise! It's located right on the bay and
our hostess and server were so friendly. They even brought us each a
raw oyster to try for our first time. We put it on a cracker and added
cocktail sauce and horseradish. I can't say we loved it but we didn't
dislike it either. All I could really taste was the cocktail sauce,
horseradish and cracker. We are proud of ourselves for trying it and
will definitely come back to try more.
I
ended up ordering the pork BBQ plate which was excellent! It include
good size side portions of coleslaw and baked beans. The beans were
awesome! Dave ordered the smoked mullet. He wasn't that crazy about it
as the texture was mushy. We will definitely come back and try the
Happy Hour Oysters for $5.00 per dozen. It is a great location and nice
porch for dining outside right on the bay. We highly recommend this
restaurant.
