Florida State Parking
A City Girl’s Exploration of the Great Outdoors
Welcome to Jenna’s Journeys: Florida State Parking, a book years in the making. Really, it’s been a lifetime in the making. This book is made up of three parts.
In Part 1: The Journey Started Years Before It Began, I share shaping moments in my life that led me to Part 2: Filling the Void, where I share what led me to the place I now call home, DeLand, Florida.

Here I share my experiences in hopes it will get others out exploring Florida state parks and other fun, outdoor places.
