One of our favorite campgrounds ever, Fort DeSoto County Park is the perfect getaway near St. Petersburg, FL, particularly if you like nature, camping, kayaking, beaches, biking… you get the picture.

Went out this morning and paddled right alongside porpoises, and saw all kinds of bird wildlife, including an Ospree. Yesterday I was paddling side by side (close enough to touch with my paddle) with a Manatee the size of a Buick (no pictures), and I have to admit that is a little daunting in a small kayak!
