We took a day trip to Manatee Springs State Park, a favorite of ours for camping when we camped in the van. We take longer trips now, and drive by this wonderful park too often on our way to other places. The sunny day often seemed cool with the north wind, but perfect for a hike so we decided to visit. Spring arrived and the trees are starting to slowly green, but winter colors still predominate.
We saw several manatees, and heard and saw many birds. We guessed a local school system had spring break that week, since families with younger children filled the campground and roamed the trails. We all enjoyed the weather and the outdoors.
