Hogwarts Castle

Two weeks ago, I was in Florida on vacation.

And, we visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal.

It was super crowded, but the first thing you see as you arrive?

The Hogwarts castle.

Here's my photo below.

I'll post more about our visit there soon!!

Another Florida

There's another Florida -- away from the traffic and the high rises and the Mouse and the golf courses. There are untouched beaches, sand dunes and sea oats, and in winter, there are very few visitors.

These are photos taken (I think) in 2004, when we visited the State Park on the St. Joseph Peninsula in the Florida panhandle.

Miles of beach on the Gulf of Mexico, a bay over which to watch the sun rise, deer, bald eagles . . a Florida paradise.
