Visiting Punta Gorda

I was driving around the other day just randomly searching for something new to drone and I came across Ponce De Leon state park. It was a beautiful place where folks would sit on the beach, runners, hikers and bike riders enjoyed the early morning weather and a few folks fishing on the dock. I did a quick recon of the area and headed north to do a little bike ride of my own. As I traveled into Punta Gorda, I found the marina and walking/biking trail along the bay. I figured this was as good of a spot to bike ride as any. So off I went and discovered the Military Heritage Museum. then further down the way was Fishermen's Village. I continued my bike ride for a few miles north and opposite of Fishermen's and discovered the Veterans Memorial Park and a sea of American Flags flying graciously at the park honoring Veterans. It was Veterans Day and a time to reflect for those that have given their all and those sacrificing their lives everyday domestic and abroad. It was a sea of patriotism that I have not seen in recent years. I left the park with a warmed heart and a tear or two on my old man's cheeks. Never forgotten! A great little part of the world and worthy a visit to explore and enjoy the day with family and friends.
