I'm trying to incorporate some exercise into my weekends. It's not something I really want to do because I spend all week exercising twice a day. But, it's one of my goals to do some sort of exercise Saturday and Sunday. So far I've been able to accomplish it on one or the other but not both.
Today we went for a hike over at an area that's located in Polk county, between Winter Haven and Lakeland. I took mostly pics of flowers and a few of the lake that we walked around. I find that photography takes my mind off of the exercise. It makes the task more enjoyable.
Ft. Desoto is 2 hours away from our home in Winter Haven, FL. I've lived in FL most of my life but I've never been there. So, early this morning we went.
We both loved the beach; what's not to love, right? The fort? Well, it's not so much a fort as a barricade. It was totally not what I had expected. I'm so glad the beach was spectacular because the fort was a real letdown. We enjoyed the day and I would wholeheartedly recommend the beaches in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The water is much calmer than on the opposite coast. There is still a very strong current though, so if you go there with children be aware. The beach was clean and the crowd was very family friendly. We had a great day.
