Saturday, June 3rd, 2017 After an uneventful, quiet night at Laura S Walker State Park we are once again on the road. Having no coffee “in the house” causes one to pack quickly and efficiently. The gas problem was solved five miles down the road in a teeny tiny town called Hoboken. I kid you…
Author: 2bikes1boat Always An Adventure
We are both teachers that love to explore and play in the great outdoors whenever we can, especially during the summer. It also gives our little guy a chance to see the world beyond the small corners of our town.
The people are home but no lights are on
Friday June 2nd, 180 miles into the trip. How can a whole town be without electricity? We stopped for lunch along Highway 121, Brandy Branch Road AKA Brady Brunch Road, according to Captain Jim. It was a quaint, meaning tiny, little gas station. We pulled in and decided to have some lunch and a much-needed…
Here we go again
Friday 6/2/2017 Away on another adventure exploring the unknown and revisiting some known. The traveling Willoughby’s leave the misty, overcast humidity of Florida and head for Roan Mountain, Tennessee. Days of last-minute appointments, end-of-year school prep, airport excursions, family visits and of course, packing, has left us subdued, but most definitely ready for the peace and…
Confessions of a Not So Professional Photographer
Recently I was asked to do the class photos for our Charter School. I teach first grade there. I didn’t think it would be a big deal because I had done them last year too. But, this year, since I had recently graduated from NYIP I decided I needed to be paid for the endeavor. …
DC Statues
One cannot help but notice the thousands of statues and sculptures that are scattered throughout Washington DC. Notice one and you are probably missing half a dozen more. These are great subjects to photograph as they don’t move. They can be challenging in that you have to get your shots without people in them. The…
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
The first place we visit when in Washington DC is, of course, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. This is a must due to my very nerdy men. My husband, a fifth grade teacher, loves science almost as much as he loves me and that’s a lot. Our 8 year old son, gifted, cute…
Urban Legend not a Hoax
For many years we heard that there were monkeys living along the Silver River in the Ocala National Forest. Many people, myself included, felt this to be urban legend. Well, I have proof it is not. Back in February we took a canoe trip down the Silver River. It was such an enjoyable, beautiful day,…
I’m in trouble!
So my husband says to me today, “I can’t find any of our trip pictures. Don’t you want to share them?” Oops, I realize I get so busy that I neglect my blog site. I have a choice, either cancel it or use it! I guess I’ll use it. It just takes discipline. We have…
Wow, It’s Been A Long Time
I just got my confirmation that my WordPress site was being renewed. At first, I thought that I should cancel it as it has been 7 months since I last posted a blog. Life tends to get in the way! What have I been doing since last here? Photography! Yes, I know, I posted pictures…
