A Visit to Beechwood State Park

We managed to get out of the house today for a while. Beechwood State Park is close enough to us, that we should be able to go there quite frequently. I was a little horrified to realize that it has been more than a month since last we were there.

It just seems like it was only puppy and me, because he’s so darn photogenic!

Beechwood State Park is a fun place to visit because of its large fields and forested areas with trails. There are also a series of abandoned buildings as the entire park used to be a Girl Scout camp. It must have been fun to camp there!
