Margaret & I drove up from Kissimmee to Savannah, to meet some MINI friendsmeet some MINI friends, and to look around the beautiful city (and it was in the 70s there today!). Savannah is laid out on a grid of roads, with “mini park” squares in many of the junctions (21 in total, apparently); lovely old trees in the squares – but Spanish Moss hangs from many; some lovely building too, a river front, and a nice beach at nearby Tybee Island …
Our return from Florida this time was somewhat circuitous, due to my making a presentation at JLG – we flew to Washington DC, rented a car (eventually!), drove to JLG, did the presentation, stayed near and toured Gettysburg, stayed in New Jersey, drove through New York City, before eventually heading home! Margaret did much of the driving in the (large) Toyota Camry we rented (thanks!), so I took some photos …
Looking down over McConnellsburg, PA, where JLG is located:
Memorials in Gettysburg (there are MANY); many gravestones, too:
And the Gettysburg address:
Margaret drove us right through the center of New York City, down Broadway – and I was able to take a couple of pictures of interesting buildings: The Empire State Building (some of it, anyway), and the Flat Iron Building (my favourite building!); a quick stop in Battery Park, to see The Statue Of Liberty and Ellis Island:
Another month, another trip to Florida for Margaret and I 🙂
This time, meeting Kate and Chris – his first ever trip to Disney! Also, Margaret’s birthday – of course we went to Magic Kingdom that day – and Margaret got a “Happy Birthday” badge from Disney:
Another day, with “Turkey Vultures” visiting next door:
But then, back to the parks … Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Lights, Camera, Action stunt show, the Great Movie Ride, and at the end of the day, we finish with Phantasmic:
