A Colorado Road Trip

We always have one day off during the middle of Campus Crusade’s National Staff Conference. We usually like to get up into the mountains and do some hiking. After walking around Lily Lake, it started to drizzle, so we went for a little drive and discovered a 1920’s Bucyrus-Erie steam shovel in operation at a museum right along the road in Nederland, Colorado. Of course, we had to get out of the car and watch! If you would enjoy captioned photos from our day in the mountains, go to our online photo album.

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

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
