Topsail Preserve State Park
February 27-March 1, 2015: This park is located in the Florida panhandle. It is a nice half mile walk to the white sand beach. We also enjoyed biking in the area.
The campsites here are clean and private.
Sunset!
They call this the emerald coast.
A beautiful living starfish.
We observed these deer grazing in the sand dunes on the walkway to the beach.
In an effort to preserve the dunes, there is no foot traffic allowed in the sand dunes.
These seagulls were following a school of fish. They moved rapidly down the beach.

Hillsborough River State Park
March 22-27, 2015: We chose this park because of its proximity to my cousin, Tom, who lives in Zephyrhills. We had a great time visiting with family and exploring the park.
Entering the park.
