Here's where we are now: St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Port St. Joe, Florida. Our campsite is rough and tropical (but completely level!) and has a ton of space and privacy. Not all the spots in this campground are like that, but this one is. Love it. The beach…

Last night we were originally planning to go have some fancy barbeque at Lambert's, but at the last minute we changed our minds and decided to go to Uchiko instead. Holy crap. What an incredible meal. Chef Tyson Cole won the 2011 James Beard Award for Best Chef – Southwest, and Executive…
