Post 14 - FDR Park & Pine Mountain

Shannon and the kids drove over to Pine Mountain to meet up with some homeschool friends from Lakeland: Charity, Jake & Luke Brown and grandma Judy. We met at Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Little White House. There was a very touching film inverviewing some of the Warm Springs residents who were affected by his contributions to the area. However, it was a little creepy visiting the very room where FDR had his stroke and then subsequently passed from this world to his eternity.

Afterwards we visited the Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari, where we rented a van and drove through the safari feeding the animals food pellets. We then hit the Liberty Bell Pool to cool off.

  

         

 

The Liberty Bell Pool is shaped just like the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has a river rock bottom that makes it a gorgeous place to swim. The pool is fed by cold springs, and chlorinated to ensure that no microscopic critters are swimming with you.
