State Park

  • Fort Clinch State Park

    by Amanda March 19, 2015

    Well this is it – our very last Florida adventure. Can you believe we spent nearly four straight months in one state? One hundred and eleven nights to be exact, which officially…

  • Another Week in Paradise

    by Amanda February 9, 2015

    Just another week in paradise. Hard to believe we’ve been in the Keys for 6 weeks already! Last week began much as the previous one ended, on the beach at Bahia…

  • Bahia Honda State Park

    by Amanda February 1, 2015

    Another awesome Florida state park! I’m continually baffled as to why anyone would choose a cramped private park over a state park with large sites and scenic views. For a long term…

  • Long Key State Park

    by Amanda January 20, 2015

    Just because we have a free driveway to park in doesn’t mean we need to stay there for two whole months. Right? Right. We always planned on breaking up our…

  • Highlands Hammock State Park

    by Amanda December 19, 2014

    I guess you could say that we’ve entered the second stage of our Florida journey. We traded in the white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters of the panhandle for a…

  • St George Island State Park

    by Amanda December 15, 2014

    So after we shared our adventure at the highly recommended St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, a bunch of people commented that St. George Island was even nicer. Even nicer! How…

  • St Andrews State Park

    by Amanda December 13, 2014

    As of today our two weeks at St. Andrews State Park are up. In fact, by the time you read this we will probably be well on our way down the road.…

  • As soon as we arrived in Florida we were flooded with comments and emails from people telling us that we MUST go to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park park. According…

  • Grayton Beach State Park

    by Amanda December 1, 2014

    Growing up in the northeast, for many years Florida was our go to winter vacation destination. We spent holidays and school vacations at the popular beach destinations like Ft. Myers Beach,…

  • Thankful

    by Amanda November 28, 2014

    We’re spending our first week in Florida at Grayton Beach State Park. It rained for the first three days, but cleared up mid-week just in time for our family to…

  • We’re really on the move these days. Last weekend we drove from Louisiana all the way across Mississippi and into Alabama. After spending the past year trolling around only four…

  • One Day in New Orleans

    by Amanda November 17, 2014

    We spent last week at Bayou Segnette State Park, about 20 minutes from New Orleans, but we only went into the city twice. Part of the reason was the weather…

  • Palmetto Island State Park

    by Amanda November 7, 2014

    As much as we enjoyed spending the past two winters in the southwest, and the past two summers exploring the western mountains, it’s really exciting to be traveling a completely different…

  • McKinney Falls State Park

    by Amanda October 24, 2014

    We spent our second week in Austin at McKinney Falls State Park. This was our first visit to a Texas State Park, so I have no idea if this campground is…
