Trip to Florida - Day Fourteen - Thursday, March 8, 2018 - Carrabelle

In our continuing discovery of Carrabelle, today we headed to the Carrabelle Museum. We watched a movie done by FSU students about Tate’s Hell - a legend about how 300 acres of swamp land near here got its name. There also were displays of famous residents, information on past industries, etc. From there we went to the Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum. It is currently housed in the old school but will be moving soon. I’m glad we saw it now since they had a very extensive collection of exhibits and their new venue will be much smaller. From there we just happened by the bottle house and had to stop. A retired art professor from the University of Tennessee decided he wanted to make a bottle house from recycled bottles and he did that and more. The pictures will make it clearer. After we grabbed pork sandwiches and fries from the deli. Then we stopped at the fish market to get some shrimp to make Jambalaya tomorrow. We came home for a while to read and blog. We went and had a great dinner at Family Coastal Restaurant. We ordered the seafood platter for two and had more food than we could eat. Stopped at the beach on the way home to catch a beautiful sunset and then drove around the neighborhood a little. Another great day!

I want one of these in my yard. Maybe we can make one with Luna bottles!
