Sometimes I don't mind a bunch of people on the beach but other times I get annoyed by either the smokers or the crying kids. 60 degrees here yesterday and YEA! it is still light out at a little after 6:00 p.m.Razzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045062757481697590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-48613572981388908772014-02-22T10:39:29.401-05:002014-02-22T10:39:29.401-05:00Definitely some big crowds at the beach for Februa...Definitely some big crowds at the beach for February - glad you were there before Sue & Mo to find out that parking situation.

Despite the crowds, Weds. was a beautiful day for piddling, sitting on the beach and watching the crowd form for the drumming climaxing with another gorgeous sunset. No complaints here - I can sympathize with those who have been struggling with the weather up north and were able to get a break down here. Of course I won't be sad when they leave either.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739352885582343624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-14889604493243054262014-02-21T11:09:26.256-05:002014-02-21T11:09:26.256-05:00Nice meet up with Sue & Mo despite all the agg...Nice meet up with Sue & Mo despite all the aggravation.

Even up here on the Pan Handle it is packed. We have met several people who came down, no reservations, because they just needed a break from the cold. Now they are having a very difficult time finding places to stay;o(( Most told us they have to move every night or two.

It starts at the base of Mt. Hood and goes to the beach. Joe's daughter has run that in the past. And Tinkerbell on the Beach??

She would tell you that the amount of traffic there any given winter is directly proportional to the kind of winter being experienced "up North." The colder/snowier the winter, the greater the traffic. Many of those who thought "Well, we won't go South this winter" changed their minds 'long about January with the cold Eastern winter we've been having. Winters like this one, my parents would leave FLA around mid-April in order to avoid the mass exodus that will take place at the beginning of April (& also the beginning of March). <br /><br />Knowing the area, your pixs make me envious as my husband and I wouldn't mind trading places with you & David right now. Or at least camp next to you at Oscar Scherer SP.

It has been so cold and snowy in the north, that I believe we had everyone down here for the winter break week. Sure hope they leave soon. The beaches here on Anna Maria Island are packed!!<br /><br />We did the sunset thing one year at Siesta Key but it was a rainy, cool evening so not the best drumming. We haven't gone again because of the unbelievable crowd. Glad you were at least able to get a spot to park and then witness the beautiful sunset. Great photos of the dancing and lights after sunset.<br /><br />We aren't too far from you.

I have a few reservations in Yellowstone for this summer and the website says they give a full refund with a 24 hour notice.

Still the weather looks gorgeous and the drumming down, while crowded, looked like it was a good time. We went to Nokomis once for the drumming but it was the total opposite--a cold evening where they had to hold it by the community center instead of the beach. I would love to see this in full swing sometime.Big EZ Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042182363320148353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-38059643052803167622014-02-20T20:50:28.726-05:002014-02-20T20:50:28.726-05:00Glad you got to meet Sue and Mo & Company in p...Glad you got to meet Sue and Mo & Company in person.
