I have this amazing friend Kim that I go on business retreats with and we lock ourselves into a room for several days and work on our businesses. We do things that we don't normally get to do when we are at home, working on our businesses instead of just in them....

I have to say, Gainesville is such a gorgeous part of Florida. The area is a gift and I get happy surprises every time I visit there. The day I discovered Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park was not exception. When I arrived to the park my time was limited...

Oh the road to the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park was a long one and it was ALL my fault! The visit to the park was not planned but turned out to be necessary because of the events of the day. I lost my wallet earlier in the day, found it later, and then headed...

The Crystal River Archaeological Park was both amazing and creepy to me. The park has burial grounds for Native Americans as well as temple mounds. There were a total of six mounds on the property. The first mound was the tallest, with a long staircase. Climbing up...

I headed out the door at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning to begin my State Parking journey for the day. My first stop was Fort Cooper State Park. It took me less than two hours to get to the park and the drive time flew by. As I entered the grounds there was a short...

Quin and I took a day trip to St. Augustine so I could check out a cool Herb farm for a customer's herb garden. While we were driving around we decided to go to Anastasia State Park. We just so happened to have a free pass from my winnings at bingo a few months...

I found out Brian was working in the Jacksonville area so I asked him if he wanted to meet me near St. Augustine to do a little State Parking in that area. Before I made it to the official entrance I stooped at the old Spanish Coquina Quarries to take a look around....

For this particular Spring Break, I was lucky to not only spend some great time with Andrew, I also got to spend some time with June Bug! We went on a few adventures the day we went to DeLeon Springs. Before we got to the park the kids got to pick their own...

A couple of weeks had passed since I had been to a state park so I was getting pretty antsy. My calendar had been filling up with so many other obligations. Finding time to go was proving to be impossible, I had to MAKE it happen! I put a post on Facebook asking...

Andrew and I were on a mission to explore as many gardens and cool nature parks as we could before he took off on his bicycle ride across the country. He had such a great time at the boneyard beach at Big Talbot that I thought it would be fun to show him Jekyll...

Quin and I have been talking about either kayaking to Silver Springs and Monkey Island or taking a little boat for a couple of years now. I had heard about these wild monkeys that hang around that area and I thought it would be so awesome to see them. When my dad and...
