Our own island..

 We started this trip intending to camp at Jonathan Dickenson State Park. The day was beautiful but our site was barren. No trees, no grass and all gravel. Jesse, Lisa and I decided to have lunch, explore and then go home.


Then something wonderful happened and we got a phone call to go camping with some of our other friends on the boat. So we headed to Jensen Beach.









Rob and Michelle picked us up at the dock and we headed to one of the small islands in the intercoastal just outside of Jensen Beach.

Others were already set up when we got there but I think we got the best part of the island.



We set up camp and realized that the zipper on our tent broke. No big deal. We put the tarp over the front and had a flap for an entrance.




There was plenty of wildlife, birds, starfish and dolphin.









The water was beautiful and the drinks were flowing..













The puppy was having the time of his life.























The girls went exploring to the other side.

Michelle was swinging on the rope with the kids.

 

We drank so much and started crashing the rest of the parties on the island.









 The sunset was amazing!!
Once the dark was upon us we then realized that the place had rats... Thank god for my ratter Capone who kept watch of our doorway.

 

He managed to keep them all away from our tent. We had an awesome time and hopefully we will visit a different island without rats next time...
