Last Day in Florida!

April 22nd, 2021: Our last day in Florida.  

We had to be packed and checked out of the resort at 10am, so we decided to drive over to see the Orlando Temple.  The ground are closed to the public due to Covid, so we weren't able to walk around, but the security guard told us to check out Blue Springs State Park, an hour drive up North.

The lighter wispy stuff hanging from the tree branches is called Spanish Moss.  We thought it was so pretty.

Blue Springs State Park was gorgeous!  Definitely a good tip to check out.  

Apparently in the winter months the park closes for swimming, because the manatees swim into the canal to where the water is warmer.  We heard some of the park rangers mention that they had seen a few manatees swim through earlier in the day, but we did not see one manatee or any alligators while we were there.  One of the most beautiful parks I've seen.  It was such a great way to enjoy our last hours in Florida.

The water was so clear, you could see right to the bottom.

Josh and the boys got sunburned during our day at Clearwater Beach.

Poor Josh and he very burnt feet waiting to board our flight.
