St. Andrew's Bay

This morning we went to St. Andrew's Bay State Park. It's about 3 minutes from the beach house we're staying in. We started off by going out on the pier. It goes out pretty far into the ocean. A few guys were fishing off the pier. We noticed some commotion and saw that one of the guys caught a shark. The kids thought that was pretty awesome. Then we went on a little hike to an alligator pond. We got lucky and saw two nice sized gators. The kids were a little scared, but they thought it was pretty cool. To cool off we went over to this sand bar and went for a dip in the ocean. We had so much fun. We are definitely going to have to go back to this park and spend more time exploring. They even have a camping area so when it cools downs a little we may have to go for a night or two.
