After work and just before sunset yesterday we headed out to see the beach. Whoa. And before you tell me: I know. I took too many photos of the sunset. Whatever. There were about 20 more, even, that I'm not posting. You're welcome. 🙂 Shadow self portrait: Wet white sand:…

Here's where we are now: St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Port St. Joe, Florida. Our campsite is rough and tropical (but completely level!) and has a ton of space and privacy. Not all the spots in this campground are like that, but this one is. Love it. The beach…

It was the first church in the Lafayette Parish, founded in 1821 on property donated by Jean Mouton, built in the Romanesque Revival style. Cool-looking,…

Here's a shot of our campsite this morning: And here's a shot of our end of the campground: Pretty place (lots of cool sounds from the trees last night!), not too crowded. So far our AT&T cell service is hanging in the 3-4 bars range, and we're using our Verizon…
