Florida Sand Dunes

These pics were taken during our camping trip. The beach sand in this region of Florida is as white as snow and the sand dunes at this state park are some of the tallest in the United States. My son and his friend were at the top of one and he is showing me that he is "King of the Dunes" LOL. The trees in this area grow in a stunted manner and are "designed" to withstand the winds that are brought about when hurricanes show up.

An early morning walk

One morning, while we were camping, the girls and I and our little pup got up very early and went for a nice long walk. Here are some pics of what we experienced and as you can tell from the jackets - it was a wee bit cold since it had rained all day the day before. We saw many birds, some very cool trees and flowers, and the girls got most excited about the foot prints that a racoon left on the boardwalk during his night time prowling. It was so quiet since we were about the only ones up and about and we could here the birds singing along with the soothing sounds of the waves lapping the shoreline. Ah - so very peaceful and special!

A Florida Sunset

Going, Going, Going - Gone! This was a most beautiful sunset to sit and watch, very mesmerizing to view the different colors of the sun, sky, and water as with each moment everything changed and the beautiful day slowly relaxed into a spectacular night

Camping in the Great Outdoors

This week is Spring Break for our children so we planned a trip to one of the nearby state parks for 5 days of fun in the Great Outdoors. We had two days of rain but did not let that slow us down (nope/nope/nope). We played in the rain and slept through the storms (well sorta) and kept on enjoying the nice break of being with each other and away from the usual stresses of everyday life that work and school bring. I have pictures that I hope to share/post soon.
