More Longpoint park

We are still camped at this park, although we had to move from our waterfront site to the center for Friday and Saturday night. Sunday we are going to try to get a better site, all the weekenders will leave. Last night celebrated Barb's birthday by eating out at the Surfin' Turtle restaurant in Melbourne Beach, about 8 miles up the road. We both had jumbo sea scallops, really good, best ever. Today walked over to Scout Island again exploring and playing with the Hermit crabs. We were in our little cove setting on our chairs in the shade when 2 dolphins came along chasing fish and jumping to entertain us for about an hour. Yesterday we had sat in the shade by our camper overlooking a wildlife pond. We got a little too much sun (reflected) even in the shade, a little burned. Beautiful weather, down to 70 at night 85 during the day. It is still 78 at 9 PM.
