Lanterns parade - Atlanta Beltline 2015 videos

Still working on the pictures. Didn't get much. My camera refused to focus on anything so I had to use my phone. 
But at least I was able to take two of this videos. It was a lot of fun!

Clearwater Beach, Fl - day 4 - Fort De Soto Park

This was a great place to visit!
If you interested in history of this park there is a great article on their county's main page. A lot of interesting facts and details about it -  Fort De Soto Historic Guide
Brief history if you didn't want to read from the link above. 
The park is made up of 5 island anchored by the main island, Mullet Key where the fort and main beaches are located. 
This park has few different sections and areas to visit. You can even do camping there. We explored 3 area - East beach, Fort and North Beach.

East Beach is a great area to come with small kids. Water is very calm and clean. Beach is the least
crowded and there is an incredible view of the Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay.

Explore Gwinnett - Rabbit Hill Park



Amenities of this park include - 109 acres, 8 youth soccer fields, 2.5 mile paved trail, multi-purpose field, grill, restrooms, sand volleyball court, playground, pavilion, dog park, river channel. basketball court and seven baseball/softball fields.
It is a great park which has been recently upgraded and renovated.
Rabbit Hill has three different fenced dog areas. One for small dogs ( under 20 lb), one for large dogs (21 lb and more) and one dog run for dogs of any size.
Excellent walking trails. Kids can ride their bikes there.
Very nice location of the playground with a scenic view of the lake and a river channel for kids to play in. It could use a little more shaded area around the playground for parents to sit. Same with the river channel, there are 2 benches and both on the sun. There are few picnic tables nearby but you can't really see your kids from there.
Overall is it a very pleasant park, very clean and well kept. Nice unique water play area and a lot of parking.


Exploring Gwinnett - Tribble Mill Park

This park is located near Archer High School. It is a huge and extremely scenic park, more then 700 acre land and it was privately owned until late 1990's when Gwinnett County purchased it. There are two lakes - Ozora and Chandler Lake and there is a large meadow called Ozora Meadow that can accommodate up to 3500 people for large events.  The eastern side of Ozora Lake has a 3.4 mile paved loop trail. There are also a few dirt trails that connect to the mail loop, about 12 miles of non-paved trails. Ozora Meadow located right next to the lake, the center point of the park and includes a playground for kids, picnic pavilion, public restrooms. Playground is very big and nice. Separate area for smaller kids. Two slides was closed for repair on the big kids section. There are lots of geese and ducks walking around the playground and the lake.
There is a boat dock where you can launch non-motorized boat and do some fishing or just swim around.

Overall park is very peaceful, very private and quiet.
