Our Last High School Graduation

We had a great time celebrating Jenny’s graduation. Last weekend, we had a party with Ben and Josh, her grandparents and her Aunt Nancy and Uncle Pat. On this weekend, we had a party with her friends. You can see more photos in our family online photo album. Jenny was on the stage because she was in the top twenty of her graduating class of over 700 students. Jenny’s high school had an early morning graduation in the Amway Arena downtown. You can see the Magic poster behind us. Continue reading Our Last High School Graduation

Oak Alley Plantation

If you want a nice day trip you could photograph even more along The River Road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Our photos are of Oak Alley, Evergreen, Laura, and St. Joseph.

Occasionally we like to get off the interstate and enjoy a scenic drive. We thoroughly enjoyed driving on 98 in Florida from Medart to Panama City. I recommend this stretch of road along the Gulf Coast for a drive, for relaxing on the beach, for wildlife viewing, for photography, or for a quiet getaway. It was a beautiful day and I wished we had a bit more time for taking more photos. We did stop a couple of times for some great shots that we can share with you. We passed a lot of great spots to take pictures, so … Continue reading The Emerald Coast
