Jekyll Island, GA

-

 















This popular tourist destination in Southern Georgia is one of the state's four barrier islands.  

As we visited the island, we set our sights on walks on stunning Driftwood Beach and the Horton House ruins.










































After lingering a while on a captivating beach, we drove to this historic site displaying the oldest tabby ruins in the state of Georgia.








Horton House



 We investigated the alluring remains of the home before stepping onto the trail leading to Horton Pond. 




















As I snapped this next shot of Cannon, he was pointing and informing us of the sight he was taking in. I can't say I immediately believed there was an alligator so close by.  As I took a look, I saw this sunbathing "beauty" then his buddy here giving us a nice view of himself in the pond. With the water so clear, we were certainly treated to a natural and serene aquatic life view.














Thanks for sitting a while to join us in our day on fabulous Jekyll Island😊

  We are back for a stay on the bayou.  Home, for the time being, is the Picou Farm.🐎🐔🌱 We have been graciously welcomed to park and stay a while, and it feels like we never left😊 We don't keep our windows closed much lately as we might miss out on the sounds provided by the farm. We have experienced many different places, sights, and sounds, but there is definitely something special about living among these characters. Many of the images below were captured by a quick peek out of our windows. Beauty!!  .....precious family time, l💞ving on the bayou grandbabes😊, and just plain fun..... A quick drive from Cut Off takes us to some Greensburg Naquin moochdocking time😁 While enjoying time here again, we decided a visit to the Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium had to happen. Fun at the Boat & RV Show in Houma

Niagara Falls

A long day of towing from Burlington, VT to Grand Island (New York that is) earned a very special outing. It was time to explore Niagara Falls💦    We arrived ready to jump onto a Maid of the Mist boat for a very exciting and soaking adventure! Getting up close and personal with the most powerful waterfall in North America with 600,000 gallons of water each second vying for attention is not an endeavor that leads to walking away dry!  Cannon is looking just a little bit apprehensive here as he wonders just what it is that he's getting himself into. It could be that he isn't fond of his new attire for the trip. And here we are after our waterfall shower😀 We'll close in the gap of time between the above shots by sharing some of the footage we were thrilled to grab.  Once we had disembarked, we decided to tackle the many steps before us to acquire the panoramic presentation below. It was definitely worth the effort! After showing some skills, we all mustered up more energy, g
