Ponce de Leon State Park in Florida

Today while driving to Tallahassee, we passed a sign for Ponce de Leon State Park. Remembering my history of explorers unit in grade school, I was excited to stop and check out this park named for the Spanish explorer who led an expedition to Florida in 1513. The main attraction of the park is the 68 degree spring fed pool that is the convergence of two underground water flows that produce 14 million gallons of water daily. The pups were able to walk on the nearby nature trail, and they loved a cool dip in the water. I loved diving into the pool and swimming in this "fountain of youth". This detour was a wonderful surprise!
