SUMMER ENDS FALL BEGINS
Summer is slowly fading and another autumn season is about to unfold across the State of Florida, a favorite time of year to get out and enjoy the cooler weather. Did you know that autumn marks the transition from summer into winter on September 22nd? Every season is special in Florida but the fall seems particularly joyful. Perhaps it's the end at long last to the heat-driven days of summer. Perhaps it's the cooler air that slowly filters southward. Whatever the reason, autumn is the perfect time to get out into the Real Florida. We invite you to visit one of the oldest state parks in Florida and take a tour of Fort Foster Historic Site.
