Excursions

The shapes and colors of Providence Canyon are beautiful and ironically result from farming and soil erosion in the nineteenth century.

Are you ready to step back in time? The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, activated in 1887, is the tallest in Florida. The buildings that supported the operation are restored on the grounds, and there are many exhibits about its history.

Almost seventy acres of immaculately maintained botanical gardens on Lake Kanapaha. If you find yourself near Gainesville and enjoy gardens, you don’t want to miss these.

Do you enjoy wandering through perfectly manicured gardens and watching butterflies flittering from flower to flower? Or maybe you like strolling along the water’s edge and exploring paths through the historic Florida countryside?

You must see the boardwalk when you visit Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. It is a wonderful place for a peaceful stroll through the forest to see wildlife up close. Perfect for making photographs.

The Loretto Chapel is one of the most beautiful chapels I have visited. We stopped in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on our recent western adventure.
