If you're on the west side of 30-A, it's not too bad a drive to the Air Force Armnament Museum just south of the FWB airport terminal on 85. Admission is free, and lots of planes to look at.

You go, Kitty! 
"Could a family of 4 eat for $30 at Amore?" Absolutely, go for their Specials when they have live music, a pizza, and two beers for $12. Buy two pizzas, with four beers, give the kids water, and you still have enough $ for a tip.
BTW, there are free concerts all over SoWal, almost every day of the week.
However, for $30 a day, you might have to skip two meals.

or...just do nothing, it's free...talk, read on the beach....and swim...what else is there?
That's what I'm talking about Hop. There is a big group of us and we like to just hang out together on the beach or at the pool. We all cook our meals and eat together. It makes for a nice relaxing week.

I know...steele mama and I were just remembering the days when we would be in Grayton for one to two months during the summer and never actually leave Grayton Beach.
We woke up, went to the beach, came home for lunch and a nap, went back to the beach, came home for showers and dinner, then played cards, walked around Grayton (looking for other kids), roasted marshmallows on the beach, sat at the Old Store (steele mama) and then the Grayton Corner Cafe (me). The Walton County library book mobile used to stop in front of where Zoo Gallery is now, and we'd check out books.
We would leave maybe three times during the summer...for trips to the Santa Rosa Beach Club Tuesday night BUFFET AND BINGO, Miracle Strip Amusement Park, Harry T's, or Fudpucker's.
Now we just spend more money than time.
