Sadler State Park turned out to be quite a gem, 395 Acres of beautiful forests on a peninsula of Lake Hartwell (56,000 acres). We stayed on Loop #1, site # 1, a pull through that abutts up to the water. After quickly setting up, little man and I took a walk down to the beach…

Gordonia State Park, Georgia
Gordonia State Park was hard to find due to poor signage. We almost missed it. There was a separate entrance that we happened on while heading to Walmart. We followed the GPS even though the sign on the road said “Dead End.” It wasn’t a Dead End. Go figure. It has a lot to offer;…
No coffee in the house
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…
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…
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…
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…
Tea Birds Cafe
Tea Birds Cafe http://goo.gl/maps/J6ls7 Father’s day brunch. Haven’t eaten yet but what an interesting place. Ecletic decor in what appears to be an 1800s building. Playing 60s music at a nice conversational friendly volume. LP album covers adorn the wall above original dark wood paneling. The waitresses are very friendly. If the food (breakfast all…
