St. Andrews State Park is known for its sugar white sands and emerald green waters. The park has over one-and-a-half miles of beach on the Gulf of Mexico and a Grand Lagoon that offered us a magnificent opportunity for bird-watching. We looked for alligators at Gator Lake but, they must have been in hiding. Even without the gators, we had an amazing hike on the gulf and around the lagoon.
After St. Andrews State Park we went to the public beach.
As much fun as I had walking on the beach, observing the birds, turtles, and deer I had more fun visiting with the McCorkel’s. Jessica and I were office partners for five years in Seoul and she was the best work partner ever. Her daughter, Skylar, and I were playmates and often went to the park together. She was only two years and seven months old when we all left Seoul, she is now four, and I was pretty sure that she would not remember me, however, we picked up just where we left off. She is amazing!
