Working my way through the loss of my Dad

6. That Southwest coast is pretty

And this time of year the birdwatching is great if you're into that. I love the "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island. Even when my knees were bad and I couldn't hike, I could see lots of birds from the wildlife drive. http://www.fws.gov/dingdarling/

My other favorite place down that part of the state is Corkscrew Swamp outside of Naples. http://www.corkscrewsanctuary.org/ Really nice boardwalk and lots of birds. Last time I went, I took my electric scooter down the boardwalk. Next time, I'm hiking the whole thing with my new knees!

We tend not to do the beaches, being native Floridians, but we love the wildlife!
