A Day Out

The usual start to the day, cool overnight and clear blue skies in the morning. After breakfast we (Lyn) made up a picnic lunch and we headed out to Big Lagoon State Park, just over the State line in Florida.

We left the car in the parking lot and headed over to a lookout tower, which coincidentally was home to a geocache. Unfortunately, from a geocaching point of view, the tower was three stories high, this meant the coordinates pointed to a location that could be on any of the three floors. Of course the cache was on the last floor we checked, it was pretty well hidden but Lyn managed to spot it. The view from the tower was pretty spectacular, I had forgotten how white the sand was in this area.

Above is a small sand bar in the lagoon, and below is one of the trails, both showing the white sand.

The park had a number of trails, so we chose one and headed off for our daily exercise. Knowing that we were going out for a meal tonight I walked in the deeper sand on the paths to get more exercise!

After a couple of miles we had built up enough of an appetite to demolish a late lunch and head out of the park.

On the way home there was a shop Lyn had wanted to visit so we stopped there for a while.

In the evening we headed out for a meal to celebrate out anniversary, I don’t think the scales will be our friend tomorrow!
