We had so much fun geocaching in the Veteran's Island area!! When I got home to log my finds, I realized that there were many more caches in the park!! So the next day my family and I went back...and picked up the remaining caches!! Here's some pictures of our experiences. It was lots of fun--we found four out of the five caches we searched for! Side note, but I also really liked this sunrise shot (above).

^^Me and Alison with a cache--it was like a tiny pot with Spanish moss on top of it. The whole thing was stuffed into the side of a fence post!! Since there was a huge abundance of the moss everywhere, the cache was very cleverly hid!! :)
^^See? This is what the cache looked like when it was hidden!! :)
^^The area was just beautiful.
^^We found another cache under Spanish moss, this time hid in a tree! :)
^^Third cache found. This cache was hid in a fence post, very clever! (see below picture).
^^Final, fourth cache found for the afternoon. This was a little tennis player hidden in the crack of a tree near some tennis courts. I thought it was pretty cool!!
^^On the last day of our Florida vacation, we visited the beach to pick up a few geocaches. We were happily surprised to find a resident opossum at the beach! Do you think he liked watching the waves crash on the sand?? ;)
^^Do you see a geocache in this picture?? (Clue: how about that shell?) ;)
^^Yay!! We found it! :)
^^My cousin Michael and I with another cache found.
^^I loved the beach.
^^This building (I believe a lifeguard's station) distinctly reminded me of NASA's Lunar Excursion Module! ;)
(above and below): we hit up two more caches on the way home....
Well, that's my Spring Break. I had a LOT of fun, and I hope I have communicated some of that through my posts. To conclude this series, I think I'll share a song that I wrote about our trip. It's to the tune of "My Favorite Things":
White crescent moons and houses with porches
Stands with tan peanuts and flaming orange torches
Flocks of dark blackbirds up on outstretched wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in short sleeves with aqua sunglasses
Searching all over for lost geocaches
Tennessee winters to Florida springs
These are a few of my favorite things
Pods of wild dolphins and gray manatees
Splendid county fairs with no more fees
Blowing wind that whistles and sings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the food spills
When the kids fight
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad!
(Series concluded)
