This year, Disney is giving away a million free tickets to people who do a service project through an approved organization. Our family excitedly jumped on the band wagon and arranged to help out the Boys and Girls Club in Apalachicola (about an hour and a half away). On the appointed day, we put on our grubbies and made the long (and very pretty) drive along the coast to Apalachicola. We thought we were arriving early, but then realized that we had crossed into the Eastern time zone, so we were really about 45 minutes late. Hoards of volunteers were already hard at work cleaning up an old facility used for after school care. We jumped in quickly, but because of the tremendous turnout, the job was done several hours ahead of schedule. We felt bad that we arrived late and got to leave early, but we were thankful for a little extra time to spend checking out the beaches in the afternoon. I forgot to take any pictures at the work site (we were working after all), but here are some pictures from a few stops we made on the way home. It was a little chilly in the wind, but a beautiful day for the most part!
