This Sunday afternoon we took a fifteen minute drive to our local state park. We were grandly rewarded for our short trek. We hiked, we took pictures, we waded in the water, and we made plans for future visits! My daughter picked the trails, one of which landed us squarely on the beach as you see in our pictures above.
As you can see the views were great. On this particular day several families were out on the beach with coolers and picnic baskets. Lots of laughter, food and fun were being had all around us. This particular state park doesn't charge an entrance fee either. It has several picnic areas, camping areas, swimming areas, and an education center. They generally host events 2 to 4 times during the weekend. Usually a morning and an afternoon program that starts in the education center and ends with a hike.
I have a feeling we may be back soon to swim and if I am lucky talk my mom into providing us some fried chicken and potato salad for a picnic. Wish me luck :-)
Look for a park in your area here.
