A Week Around Florida: Istokpoga to St. Augustine Day 6
There are certain days of the week when you have a particular routine you stick to as much as possible. Saturdays, in our home (mobile or stationary), are called Pancake Day. We have had Pancake Day for maybe 10 years now and it is just one of those traditions that stuck. Another thing we do…

A Week Around Florida: Tamiami to Bahia Honda Day 3
Day three of this maiden adventure for Loki had us driving from Homestead to Bahia Honda State Park. This day would provide our best surprise yet, as we made the very slow trek over Seven Mile Bridge and beyond.

Weekend Drive to Pensacola and Gulf Shores

A Few Days at Gulf Shores Beach
We come down to Gulf Shores as often as we can, but our favorite time of year to come down here is once the heat has dissipated and the people have all gone back to work and school. Photos from the Week

Beach Photography Day
We stayed an extra day or two at Gulf Shores so I was able to take a day and get some actual beach photography worked up. These shots were taken very late in the day and were all taken on a very calm perfect weather day. I had come down to the beach when my…

Quick Trip to Gulf Shores and Pensacola
We met up with some family from Texas and shared a condo and the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores. While we were down that way we visited the famous LuLu’s and had dinner, and got to spend some good quality time on the beach. In a companion post on my photography site, I did take…

Day Trip to St George Island
We took another one of our quick trips to the beach and stayed long enough to get some sunset photos along the beach. It was a beautiful time as it always is on this part of the Gulf Coast.
