Hi friends! It’s so good to see you again! We enjoyed our winter in Florida and wanted to share a post on our time in the Sunshine State. Florida is exceptionally diverse and we were fortunate to experience different regions of this state. We saw historic forts, world-renowned beaches, the rugged landscape of the Everglades, and even experienced some ‘Disney Magic’!

To put that into perspective, the park is larger than the state of Delaware! The government protected this area because of the extensive ruins, granaries and petroglyphs that…
