After our visit to Wakulla Springs, we ran down to St. Marks. As many times as I have been to St. Marks, I have never visited the lighthouse or the wildlife refuge. Let me preface this by saying, it is absolutely beautiful. I can see many summer afternoons with the pooches walking and taking in the beautiful scenery. Especially since the company that my husband works for owns a plantation only about 15 minutes up the road, and he is usually there at least 2 Saturdays a month. Perfect! There are trails for walking, hiking, biking, horseback riding. You name it. Take your boat, and go fishing in the bay. Or just take your fishing pole and fish in the many estuaries there. If you have ever been to the State Park at St. George Island, it reminded me a lot of the scenery on the bay side of the park. Sorry, just no beaches to enjoy with the masses, but I like that. I generally HATE tourists. Maybe thats just a Florida thing.
Anyways, here are some pictures that Stacey took. We switched picture taking, since my arm was still hurting from holding up the camera so long on the boat ride at Wakulla! I am trying to convince her to buy a camera like mine so we can share lenses. Keep your fingers crossed, but I doubt it!
And because Stacey is so obsessed with an alligator doing a death-roll on unknowing prey, I made her take a picture of this:
Too bad those dozen or so alligators we saw at Wakulla Springs weren't hungry so she could see it first hand.
State parks can be a gem, if you know that they are there. What parks do you have around your area (or local-only knowledge) of beautiful places to visit? I would love to hear about them!! Stacey and I are going to try and visit a local park/attraction at least once a month. Hopefully we can find places just as beautiful!
