If you have never been to Historic Spanish Point it is a must see!!! It is a small treasure of old Florida and can be experienced in a couple hours. A pleasant walk through the gardens and old Florida growth to the Bay. You will hear of the history of a citrus business and see an old family homestead, church and cemetery nestled among the trees and on the water. A very sweet and pleasant to spend a morning or an afternoon! Enjoy!

Spent a long weekend camping at Oscar Scherer State Park. This park is ideal for birding. We were especially anxious to see a Florida Scrub Jay, an endangered species of bird only found in Central FL. We were also hoping to see some bald eagles. We got lucky with the jays as they entertained us one morning at our campsite. We did see two eagles nests but no birds. A surprise was seeing a flock of White Pelicans soaring above the nests. If your not into birding there are plenty of other things to do in the park, including Canoeing, fishing and swimming in Osprey Lake. There are eleven hiking/biking trails of various sizes and access to the Legacy Trail, a paved multiuse trail that runs ten miles through the county. The Nature Center is a must see. A volunteer, at the center, Joel gave us a tour of the center and added to our limited knowledge of all the park has to offer.
