On July 3 we drove to Niceville FL and stayed at the Rocky Bayou State Park.  Our main reason for stopping in Niceville was to spend the 4th of July with our dear friends June and Randy.  It was raining heavily on our rather long drive.  It reminded me of just how long and wide Florida really is! We had reservations at an RV park that was 30 miles from June and Randy’s, and really wanted something closer.  We decided to cancel our reservations at the one RV park and take our chances at Rocky Bayou.  It was a risky move on a holiday weekend, but because of the weather forecast calling for continued torrential rains for several days, we took our chances on a cancellation at the state park.  As luck would have it, Bill’s instincts paid off and we were able to secure a site for our 3 day stay.  June and Randy’s 4th of July beach party had to be moved indoors, but we had a delightful time eating barbecue and playing dominoes.  We also enjoyed meeting and visiting with June’s brother and his wife, and Randy’s brother and his wife, as well as Randy and June’s son and grandson.  June had decorated the table beautifully for the 4th of July.  June and Randy are such gracious host and hostess!
