Scenes From Around the Campground

Hey ya'll!
It's a bit of a drizzly day here in Savannah, so we changed our plans a bit.  We were going to go to a flea market that I was really looking forward to, as well as a farmer's market down town, but didn't feel like walking around in the rain.  So, we plan on visiting an aqarium just a few minutes from us, that we've heard good things about.  I'm not complaining about the rain, though!  I will take that over our usual Michigan snow and cold!
 
At any rate, thought you might like to see a few shots from around the campground!
 The state park is amazing here!  Lots of hiking trails thru a jungle like woods.  We are loving all of the trees draped with moss.  As well as the palm trees!  So part of our daily routine here has been to take long morning walks with our Emily on the trails (though not today, it was a bit too soggy!).  She is loving it as much as we are!
 Isn't this view pretty?  This is along one of the hiking trails, which runs along the intra coastal waterway.
 This has got to be one of the nicest state parks we've ever camped in!  The sites are huge, it's so nice and quiet and private here.  They do an excellent job of maintaining it, too.
 So this is our home away from home!  Notice our little palm tree?
 I snapped these last two photos of Miss Emily this morning.  She is peacefully napping after our walk.  Notice her wet ears?
"Aww Mom, did you have to wake me up for a picture?"
We had her groomed the other day at Petsmart.  She was getting a little shaggy, and would be way too wooly by the time we get home, if we hadn't have taken her for a new "do"!
I think the groomer did a great job, not to mention the fact that Emily is much easier to keep clean now!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  3. Oh - You are making me long for the South again! Do you know about chiggers? They are in the Spanish moss (at least in FL). Just make sure you don't fool around with the moss. They are little insects that burrow under your skin and they are MISERABLE and make you itch like crazy!
    Miss Emily looks so cute and fresh! Nice grooming job they did- xo Diana

  4. Emily looks like she is enjoying the trip as much as you two! Beautiful area...I remember making forts with the hanging moss as a kid...but never had a problem like NanaDiana talked about, thank goodness!

  14. What a fantastic vacation you are having, and I bet Emily likes the warmer weather as well. I hope you make it to a flea market before your trip ends. That's my favorite thing to do.
