Going outdoors?
Do you love getting out in nature? Do you like solitude? How about watching wildlife? Breathing fresh air and seeing the sky instead of buildings?
Then check this site out! I'll try to provide some insight on parks I've visited. Hopefully you will find a park that looks interesting to you. Then get out there and enjoy it!
All parks are important. If I had unlimited time and funds I'd travel extensively across this great nation and report my findings. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury so I'll share what I've seen and pray our parks survive for many years.
The SW Florida Inland Parks tab includes the inland parks I've visited. Primarily in Hillsborough, Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. These are great counties! I'm so thankful to have lived in this area and would recommend it to anyone.
The Beaches tab lists beaches I've visited. I'm keeping beaches separate from inland parks because it's such a different experience. Solitude can be challenging to find at many Florida beaches but the natural habitats are worth exploring. The Gulf Coast beaches are the best! They put the East Coast beaches to shame! We actually have spacious beaches that don't have huge condos towering over you while you sunbath or play in the surf. Plus you can find shade at many of our beaches unlike those on the Atlantic.
I love to travel!! The Great Parks in Other States tab will include those parks outside Florida that I've visited. As my travels increase so will this page.
There won't be anything outside the United States listed. We have so much to explore in this country that I don't feel the need (or have the funds) to travel extensively outside the states. We have such diverse landscapes and cultures here that until I explore them all I'm content on staying put.
