Visiting Fort De Soto Park In St. Petersburg, Florida

One of the first places my husband and I went to was the beach. We both love being by the water so when we planned our first trip as a couple to Florida we knew we had to take advantage of being that close to the water. During the time we were there us and his family all went to this park in Pinellas County called Fort De Soto Park. I was captivated by the beautiful white sand and the overabundance of seashells. There was seashells everywhere. I think I

Rainbow Springs State Park, Florida

I’ve been to Florida many times. Even lived there for a year but never had the chance to really explore much of it. After all, it is a pretty huge state. I’m sure I will never get to explore it all. On our last trip to Florida we had the opportunity to explore a new state park called Rainbow Springs State Park. It was absolutely breathtaking to say the least and has a lot to offer as well.
