Travel: Florida Gulf Coast

To kick of my van trip in 2021, I dragged my two friends, Henry and Alyssa with me to Florida.

We did the first drive in ONE DAY which I do not recommend, but having them there helped. We got lunch in Savannah to break up the trip.

The week was spent working but we did have some time to play.

I loved showing them other spots I had visited alone on previous trips south. And since I went later in the season, I got to try a few spots that had been closed for the season including Shoobie’s for ice cream!

We did a small day trip over to Seaside.

Alyssa and I worked on a small project together to give to the owners of the house for letting us stay. We collected little shells and glued them to the frame and I filled it in with a calligraphy sea horse.

When I took them to the airport, we stopped by Wakulla Springs, where they filmed creature of the black lagoon.

The lodge was pretty and we did some hiking on the property and around the lagoon.

Stopping by a place that felt like home was the perfect way to kick off a trip in the van. I know I’ll be back to this home soon for more sun and sand.
