Getting Ready For Vacation

5/30/22

We are going to be going on vacation in a couple of months so we decided it would be good to start doing some hiking to prepare for the longer hikes we plan to take while on vacation. We invited Patricia to join us since she will be coming on vacation with us again this year. We drove back to the location that mom and dad hiked on their anniversary since they had to leave the trail early and had not completed half of the trail. We found the other trailhead to the Pioneer Trail in Jennings State Forest:

It was a beautiful day for a hike!

Luna was very happy to be on a hike with all of us!

“Which way guys?”
Luna in her happy place!
Mom loves bridges!

For Florida this hike has some surprising elevation changes:

We came across a small cemetery:

Water access along the way:

Lizzy found a friend:

Grasshoppers can be friends.

This one wanted to be friends with Luna:

Luna was not so sure about this friendship:

A tiny waterfall to cool off in:

It even had a name!

We found another waterfall:

We couldn’t go up to this one (had to stay on trail at this state park):

It was still a nice place to relax and enjoy:

The happy couple!

Another falls:

Even smaller:

Lizzy found a tiny frog.

Fish!

Lots of relaxing on this hike:

It was a hot day so cooling off in the water was nice:

Everyone found a place to relax:

This was an easy hike on a hot day. Perhaps we need a more challenging hike before we go on vacation!

It was hot so we decided to stop for ice cream. No one complained:

Their ice cream was delicious!

Lizzy, Mom and Luna went on a little hike:

Luna is getting much better about going in water!

She doesn’t like to stay in it very long:

What’s that in the swamp?!

It’s not moving. . .

Turtles!

What WAS that!?

Luna is happy!

Notice the beautiful oak on the right side:

Moms favorite tree at this hike on the road to and from the hike. You have to park less than a quarter of a mile up this road for this trailhead.
