I have officially lived in Florida for nine years now and of course, I’m still adjusting. With all of the beautiful beaches, the food, the traffic, the mosquitoes, and an almost endless list of cool things to do and see, Florida never fails to amaze me! Still, as interesting as Florida can be, there are times that traveling this state absolutely exceeds my expectations and Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka is one of them.
