I just posted 2 new albums of photos. One is from our trip to Savannah and the other is from a side trip that we took while in Savannah to Daufuskie Island.
The Savannah photos include a week of Forrest Gump, traditional southern food, bucolic streets and squares lined with live oak tree covered in Spanish moss, old mansions, civil war sites/memorials, old forts, lighthouses, a historic plantation and a cemetery.
The Daufuskie photos are of a place that you may not heard of, but was the highlight of our trip. It’s a small island near Hilton Head Island. You take a ferry to get there and then travel by golf cart. Check out the my photos for a slightly more in depth description of the island.
The Savannah photos are here and the Daufuskie Island ones are here. Enjoy!
I just posted the last of my photos from 2016. Back in October, we spent a long weekend at Lake Wallenpaupack, a man-made lake in the Northern Poconos created as a reservoir for a hydroelectric plant. Because we left in the evening after work, we stopped and spent a night at Sands in Bethlehem before heading the rest of the way up to the Poconos. Our first stop was in Honesdale to board a train for a scenic ride along the path of the former Delaware and Hudson Canal to check out the beautiful Fall foliage. We then headed to Hawley to check in to our motel right across the street from the lake. We sent much of the weekend walking and driving around the lake and exploring downtown Hawley. Along the way we found time to stop at a few very cool diners. After heading out of town, on our way home, we went to a cider mill because nothing says Fall like a cider mill. Then we visited the home of the first chief of the US Forest Service, Grey Towers. It’s now a national historic landmark and museum. All in all, it was a slower paced, more relaxing vacation than we usually like to take, but it was still a lot of fun.
