Since our time at Disney was winding down, we decided to just stay and make the most of our time at the resort. We had a nice breakfast, grabbed our school books, tennis rackets, and swim equipment and snagged two poolside tables for the day. We started with some time at the playground for Maria, and then a quick swim. After that, we were ready for some poolside...

At over 1,400 acres, Fort Clinch State Park is situated on Florida’s northernmost barrier island- Amelia Island. As the name indicates, it is also home to Fort Clinch. As we stepped into the fort, it was as if we were transported back in time to the year 1864. We got the opportunity to explore the many rooms, galleries and grounds of the fort and learned how the...
