Jenna’s Journeys – How it all began
In 2016, I decided to use my birthday money to get an annual pass to the Florida State Parks. My mission – see ALL the state parks in 365 days! Could it be done? I wasn’t sure but I was going to try.
I thought it would be cool to document my journey by writing a blog and sharing a few pictures of each place I experienced. I have lived in Florida most of my life and have only been to a few state parks. I thought it would be interesting to see what changes, if any, have occurred since my last visits. Plus I was excited to see parts of Florida I had never set foot on before.
I thought it was awesome to have some guest on my travels, but most of my journeys were done alone, or with Casey by my side. Because I wanted to see so many parks in a short amount of time, I required weekend trips, full week’s vacations, and any PTO days I acquired along the way. I was on a mission to succeed, and I did, in so many mores ways then making my goal.
This blog was started to take you on my journey and show you what the Florida State Parks and the state as a whole has to offer. In writing the blogs I was inspired to write an actual book. That has been a long process but one that should be completed by the end of 2024. I will keep you posted!
The first park I visited on my list was Blue Spring State Park but I don’t have a blog for it because I never actually went into the park that first day. I guess I was so excited that I just bought my pass and went right on home! I have since then made up for the over look and have shared those stories here.
I hope you enjoy my many adventures through the Florida State Parks and beyond! My transformation over the past few years has turned me from a woman who never wanted to go outside to someone who can’t live a day without experiencing the outside world!
Thank you for coming along on this great journey through the state parks and beyond!
