Around Lake Michigan

mikeandsus

After Staff Training, we went to visit our financial partners and friends from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Instead of turning around and re-tracing our route, we continued the drive and went around Lake Michigan. We slowed our pace and stopped to see lighthouses, beaches,and historic sites. This photo is of the Mackinac Light and Bridge. We also went up to Sault Ste. Marie and saw a little bit of Lake Superior and watched a barge and boats go through the locks. We had a great trip and have lots of captioned photos to share with you. Continue reading Around Lake Michigan

Meaningful Tweets

John Piper sees Twitter as an opportunity to add something meaningful to the Twittersphere. Read more of his perspective on using Twitter to minister. Here are a few examples from his Twitter page: DEALING WITH YOUR SIN: Don’t minimize how many times you’ve failed. But magnify how firmly they’ve been nailed (Col. 2:14). Through the years I sought peace. I found ecstasy, anguish, madness, loneliness. But peace I did not find.

National Museum – Naval Aviation

We highly recommend the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. We only spent two hours there. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour which gave us a history of the development of naval aviation. This tour is perfect if you only have a short time to visit. If we go back I would want to have more time to see the displays. I would also check ahead to see when they are offering their outside tours and when the Blue Angels are scheduled to practice. We saw some other aircraft landing and taking off while we were there. As we drove on the … Continue reading National Museum – Naval Aviation

Oak Alley Plantation

We really enjoyed this lovely plantation. We had a simple breakfast in their restaurant mid-morning and then took a slower pace, enjoying the beautiful grounds before taking the house tour. Afterwards, we drove along the Mississippi River to see if we could photograph other plantations. We were able to see three more plantations along route 18. 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.

The Emerald Coast

mikeandsus

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
