We decided one day of Disney was more than enough, we followed our family’s passion, triggered by our amazing man, and drove some more until we reached a true haven– the Canaveral National Seashore. One of the many things I admire about this country is the love and preservation of nature. Florida in it’s unusual nature is a definite place to stop by and visit for any nature loving person/ family. It has amazing unusual birds that I have never seen before, creepy, yet beautiful vine and moss covered trees, and a mix of evergreens and palm trees. So very unusual.
We stopped first by the beach and then took a dreamy-like hike. We were englufed by creepy vines and fern covered branches. We walked until we reached a truly captivating place called the Mosquito Lagoon.
It was record breaking cold for this time of year ( thank goodness) so we were able to enjoy the peace and quite of the place full force. the beach on the Lagoon had no sand like your usual beaches– instead it was covered with millions of tiny little sea shells.
There was a big hill– where a tree grew on top. We learned from a park Ranger who stopped by to casually collect a historic shard of indian pottery,embellished by native drawings– explained that this is the natives version of what we call today a land fill. Only instead of our usual toxic junk, it was filled with millions of sea shells ( their native food at this time). Neat huh!
(Photo taken by phone hence the poor quality, nonetheless still worth showing: this is what we saw pretty much all along the Tennessee highway– frozen water falls, gorgeous!)
And this is how we ended our road trip. We drove back for another two days and were welcomed by a nice warm homemade hearty soup and bread. ( I was smart enough to think of our return and froze up some soup and bread. It’s been almost a month since our return and I am still quite pleased with myself.)
And peace.
