Camping in Florida

For spring break, our goal is to find the warmest place to camp in under a day's drive.  Northern Florida fit the bill again this year, so we headed down to Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, along the Suwannee River.  Stephen Foster, from Pittsburgh, PA, never saw the Suwannee River, but his catchy song "Old Folks at Home" became so famous that Florida adopted it as its State Song and created this cool State Park to commemorate his music.  Grandma and Grandpa Johnson were good sports and joined us for the adventure.  Our trip was full of the required camping elements - tents, dirt, long hikes, rain, an unexpected cold front, ticks,1 snake and 1 toad.  Here's a slide show if you want to re-live it with us.
