Florida

Florida
Lauren Porter
Florida has a lot to offer in the department of pure beauty. From lighthouses over looking your small world, to beaches at sunset. We even took a boat ride so we could see the majestic craeatures of the sea.
 
The scariest moment of my life was climbing to the top of one of Florids's tallest lighthouses, yet it is one of my favorite memories. Just standing up there I could see for miles and miles, but at the sam time all I could see was trees, just so many beautiful trees. From that height you could see the wind run through the trees, shaking their delicate leaves. I could feel the breeze slightly rush over my skin. My neck began to prickle with little goosebumps. It felt like I was standing on a windy beach.
 
By far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen was to be at a beach while the sun sets. The way the light bounced off the water and back into the orange and pink sky. I remember the feel of the waves brush past me and then hearing them crash to the hard ground behind me; the feeling of the already wet sand following the tide back and forth. My nose stung from the smell of the gallons of salt hanging in the air. The beach is so amazing especially when you leave the shore.

 That's right the ocean get's even better. While on our trip we took a boat ride. We were a cople miles from the shore. The water itself was incredible. It shined and sparkled brighter than stars in the midnight sky. Everything was so calm the only thing the only thing you could hear was the boat engine and the water slapping the side of the boat as the boat ripped through the calm ocean waters. Then I saw something that made my day, week, and my entire trip. I saw dolphins swimming along side our boat. They were so majestic and beautiful. The only time I had ever seen a live dolphin before was at Seaworld, where they were held in captivity. I had never really seen them wild and free, and let me tell you Seaworld could not compare to seeing them in their natural habitat. I could watch them forever. After a while the sun began to sink low into the sky, and the boat began to sail to shore.

Florida, they have light houses as tall as Jack's beanstalk. Florida has beaches that are movie scene ready. Florida has boat rides rom Heaven. In my hinest opinion Florida is the most beautiful place ever.
