Weekend excursion

A beautiful sunny Saturday deserves appreciation! This weekend Austin and I headed south to Ocala National Forest for some hiking and snorkeling. This park is huge and we only explored a tiny bit. We are eager to come back to try some more trails and do some camping as well.

We spent 2.5 hours hiking through the longleaf pine on the Yearling Trail

After our sunny afternoon hike, we took a dip in the freshwater springs. A huge school of mullet, a couple of bass, and lots of giant cichlid-looking fish. And I saw a big turtle!

What a nice way to spend a Florida Saturday :) We were tired after our busy afternoon but came home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated by our hike and swim. Looking forward to the week ahead!
