No Saltwater Taffy for us today – we opted for fresh cut French Fries instead. They were authentic and delicious! 😉

Postcard from Crisfield Maryland
Kathy & I checked Maryland off our list today. Actually we had been to Maryland before but decided it didn’t qualify because we didn’t have photographic evidence. We have plenty now!
Postcard from Carolina Beach
Kathy & I are finishing up our time in Carolina Beach, North Carolina before heading up the coast with visits to VA, MD, DE and NJ. This is just a sample of the photos I have found from our visit. More to come!
Postcard from the Natchez Trace Parkway
I lucked into this scene yesterday morning as we were entering the Parkway. We never saw him again so I didn’t have a chance to see more of the car.
Postcard from Natchez, Mississippi
Kathy & I spent a couple of nights in Natchez, Mississippi before starting off on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Natchez sits on a 200 foot bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. We spent a lot of time walking and watching the barge traffic on the river. The river is high and a few roads are closed, but we didn’t see anything serious.
Postcard from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana
On to Natchez, Mississippi today. Here is a sunset photo from last evening after our swamp tour.
Postcard from Avery Island, Louisiana
In addition to being the home of Tabasco, Avery Island is home to Jungle Gardens, a 170-acre semitropical garden that stretches along Bayou Petite Anse. Jungle Gardens was created by Edward Avery “Ned” McIlhenny. Born on Avery Island in 1872, Ned was an arctic explorer, naturalist and conservationist.
Postcard From Lafayette, Louisiana
Today, Kathy & I are in Lafayette, Louisiana where we toured the Tabasco plant in Avery Island and took a swamp tour, then capped off the day with a visit to a roadhouse with Cajun music and fresh seafood. Louisiana is an interesting place!
Postcard from Huntsville, Alabama
This past Friday, Kathy & I visited the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. While there we toured various NASA facilities including the Control Room at the Payload Operations Integration Center at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. This is where all of the communication with the International Space Station regarding the payload and experiments takes place. It was very interesting to see.
While we were there, the astronauts aboard the space station were returning from a space walk. We were able to see live video of them returning to the ISS through the airlock and beginning the process of removing their suits. Quite an unexpected treat!
Postcard from Symphony of the Seas
Kathy and I are currently roughing it on Symphony of the Seas, at this time the largest cruise ship afloat. A couple of weeks at sea doesn’t suck!
Photos when we return home.
