shoeless

I was a Kamper for 6 years: K-Kountry and K-West. I was a Kickapoo and my brothers were Cherokees. I loved every minute of Kamp! The clinics, the parties… I’m 25 years old and I wish I could go back and tackle the Blob just one more time! I miss it. I can’t wait until I have my own children to send there!

Great place to drive down for the day, or stay in a cabin/tent for a rustic vacation. I believe admission to the park is $4 per vehicle (8 passengers max.)... totally worth the primo parking right off the beach, and clean restrooms/changing area. There are pavilions with tables near the parking lot. Sometimes the fishermen get a little annoying. It is unnerving when some fat old guy starts baiting sharks right where you want to swim… I’ve seen a few sharks during past visits. ...That’s really my only complaint. (the fishermen, not the sharks. I honestly feel more endangered by the presence of sharp hooks than I would by the presence of a few unbaited sharks.)

It’s full of trashy college students. Given it a few tries. Not going back, except on the way home. The new mall is worth a visit. Margaritaville is fun. Great restaurants and shops. But as far as a vacation destination, PCB is OFF my list!

My husband and I drive down from Fort Rucker, AL a few weekends a month… Every chance we get! Rent an umbrella and 2 chairs for $30 a day… great waves for a Florida beach. And best of all, it’s a much classier group of people who frequent the place, compared to most places in Florida. Not trashy like Panama City Beach or Destin!

The shops are cute and there are great restaurants with outdoor lounges right on the beach.

Yeah so I live here now… I refuse to change my “Home” status to Ft. Rucker. It is temporary. A few years at most.

Advice: Get over yourself and try to make peace with this place. You’ll be a lot less miserable if you stop fighting it. Find things you enjoy. ...But you don’t have to put down roots. Embrace your curly hair (it’s not worth the fight against frizz when it’s 130% humidity.) If you need an ER go to Dothan.

Good things: Go to Florida. Watch the Apaches shoot at night. Eat at Mellow Mushroom. Get a tan. Pick strawberries at Country Best farm on N84. Dothan is close if you’re in need of a mall or a nice restaurant.

make sure you get your pizza with wheat crust!

don’t wear clothes you can’t wash… because the artisan definitely has an odor. (something along the lines of burnt coffee and lots of home cooking… like if you took a starbucks, put it in a basement, and didn’t use any chemicals to clean the place.) but hey – at least there’s no smoking!

and no, they don’t burn their coffee. it just smells like it. they actually have pretty great coffee. (they brew Kaldi’s organic fair trade)

great view of the waterfront. the third floor is less crowded.
their mojito is really good (but it was my first mojito, so don’t take my word for it), and their fish tacos are AMAZING!!!
(I got the salmon sandwich, which was fine… but my boyfriend got the fish tacos… and of course, I stole one.)

because it was too expensive to send home… and we couldn’t bring it on the airplane. (stupid terrorists.) Oh well. Now that they’re allowing toothpaste again, perhaps they’ll allow frozen fish.

something like 70% of Greece is made of marble… not the buildings… Like… GREECE ITSELF. haha!

the sidewalks are marble. so be careful not to fall on your face. i’ve seen lots of ppl do it.
