Eden Garden State Park

Today we took a small drive on the coastal scenic road he 30A that starts at our park and ends up in Panama City. We had a nice lunch on the terrace of a wine bar / restaurant. They had nice wood oven baked pizzas so I had the grilled vegetable one with a nice glass of Puilly Fuisse. We then drove to Eden Garden State Park on the 98 there was a house my wife was interested in.

We went to visit this place that is relatively close to our location, in matter of fact it's less then 10 mile from our base-camp.

Here is a description of the park as posted on the Florida State Parks website.

The focal point of this 161-acre park is the beautifully renovated, two-story Wesley house with its elegant white columns and wrap-around porch. The moss-draped live oaks and ornamental gardens inspire visions of hoop skirts and landed gentry. Named after a wealthy Florida timber family, the park is part of the family's estate. In 1963, Lois Maxon bought and renovated the home, creating a showplace for her family heirlooms and antiques. The house holds the second largest known collection of Louis XVI furniture in the United States. Visitors can also take a stroll along the grounds and enjoy the picnic area.

More then this there is also a nice bay and magnificent old oak trees.

After visiting the house we went back to the camp to get the dog to visit the garden and surroundings of the park. One of the oak tree is 600 years old and is often use as a setting for weedings, another one is twisted like in an hunted forest and has a branch that vaults above the road until it touches the ground like a bony hand on he other side.

At the lake there was fishes jumping out of the water every few seconds,it was quite a sight to witness. And yes of course I took a picture.

Before we left I got this picture of the bay at the end of another beautiful day.
