Last weekend we ventured up to Stephen C. Foster State park in Georgia. We enjoy going to Hannah Park here in Jacksonville beach for fishing, hiking, and walking the dog. We we wanted to change up the scenery by going to a different park. We found this one the map and decided to try it out. We took the dog and headed up there. It was great spending time with the dog, and she LOVES going with us, but we were unable to go on a swamp tour because dogs are not allowed on boats. We had fun anyway hiking the nature trails and going into the museum but really wanted to come back with out the dog.
So that is exactly what we did this weekend. Today just Steve and I drove to the State park. We decided to take a four hour canoe ride through the swamp. It was very peaceful and we really enjoyed spending quality time together, just the two of us. But the real thrill was seeing all the wildlilfe around us. We saw a spider the size of my fist, lots of different bird species, and at least 3 gator that really were swimming about 10 feet from us. Normally this would be ok, but we were in a small boat and I didnt even have to bend to feel the water. It was a great day trip! Picture are attached of our day.
