Reminiscing Special Moments ~ A Lighthouse & Magnificent Sunset, Shell Paths & Special Walks along the Beach

Hello, beautiful friends. I hope you all have had a good end of the week. I wanted to share more of our vacation from a few weeks ago. After our exploration of Wakulla Springs, Florida, we headed right after dinner to St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge and Historic Lighthouse in St. Marks, Florida. 


I LOVE visiting Lighthouses. This one DID NOT DISAPPOINT. 











We took a lovely walk and explored the area!!! The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking! We also saw a little (not so little) creature. :) 






My husband and I are being silly for our children. We always take a goofy picture and send it to them. It is just our thing!! :) 











After we explored the lighthouse, we took a lovely walk along the Apalachee Bay and enjoyed the beauty of it all. 













These are nothing but shells!!! Thousands and thousands of shells. This whole path was crushed and whole shells! It was so weird and neat. 








On our walk, we looked over and saw this alligator. It was swimming right towards us. I will be honest, I speedily walked to the car :) 

We headed to our hotel after this. We were super tired. Our hotel was nice and cozy. I went to the pool and read and enjoyed the pool and hot tub for a bit. 




I'd like to share one last sunset photo. It is just breathtaking. I sure thought it was. 





I hope you enjoyed visiting me and letting me reminisce about our vacation with you.


Happy Weekend & Love,
Chrissy T

  1. Florida has the best sunsets, but I don't miss always having to be on the lookout for alligators. Such a beautiful lighthouse and surrounding area.

  2. Alligators are just as fast on land as water. Good thing you high tailed it to your car. I would have done the same. I love lighthouses too. Here in Michigan we actually have more lighthouses then the entire East Coast of the US. I have visited many of them. We have one right up the river from us. I need to do a post of our lighthouses one day. Thanks for the inspiration for me as well. This is why I like blogging and meeting new friends. Janice

  3. This looks like a perfect day! That seashell path is pretty incredible.
    I love lighthouses and we've been to so many of them. I live in West Michigan. Did you know Mich has more lighthouses than any other state? So it's easy to find one to check out.
