Never made it over to Ponce de Leon, but frequently went to Ginnie and the other springs around High Springs, Floriida. There's nothing like the Florida springs!

I live about an hour away from this place and haven't been here in the longest time. Used to go there 3-4 times a month and eat at the sugar mill for breakfast. Love being in the water but cannot stand touching the bottom or the sides of the wall because it feels a little slimy. I'm always wearing water shoes just because when you have to get out you have to put your feet on the slimy stairs and I get so grossed out. Hope you and your family had lots of fun.
