It was a crisp, cold day in St. Paul, Minnesota, the kind where the air is so clear that you can see for miles. And there was nothing to do – all. day. long. It was f’n cold out, too cold to go outside for long. And that was almost the only notable part of the trip. The Cathedral of St Paul and bunny footprints were the best.
But, wait! There's more...One of these Mississippi lighthouses is in Biloxi and I thought the other was in Gulfport…. But when I Googled did my extensive research, there is no light listed in that area – at least as far a Google is concerned.
But, wait! There's more...I highly recommend seeing the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast by helicopter! The company was Orange Beach Helicopters. The guides were great! Very polite, and informative. I would definitely go again!
But, wait! There's more...In addition to watching the Blue Angels, there are many cool things to see and do, not the least of which is the National Naval Aviation Museum. The museum is massive and takes two to three hours to complete – and it’s free! Got to love the free.
But, wait! There's more...The sugar-white sand beaches are loaded with amazing sea shells, some as large as your palm, others the size of your thumb, the kind of shells you see for sale in souvenir shops. On the beach, they’re free for the digging. I recently got to dig for shells with a couple friends. I felt like a kid again, looking for perfect shell treasures, and running to my friends to show them my find.
But, wait! There's more...I took a day trip to Elk Neck State Park in Maryland to meet some fellow campers. It’s on a long peninsula, across Chesapeake Bay from Havre De Grace. At the end of the peninsula is the historic Turkey Point Light, built in 1833. A giant peach, known as the Peachoid, sits on the west side of highway 85 at FATZ Cafe in Gaffney, South Carolina
But, wait! There's more...Today’s post is about my favorite site in the tour of Baltimore Harbor: the Seven-foot Knoll Lighthouse. I LOVE lighthouses – and a little, squat, red lighthouse is a bit of double awesomeness. The lighthouse was constructed in 1856, marking the entrance to the Patabsco River and Baltimore Harbor.
But, wait! There's more...I’ve always loved all things miniature: miniature decks of cards, little glass bottles, little Christmas villages under the tree. Even stamps are little miniature pieces of artwork to me. Of course this includes miniature villages – they are the best! It’s no wonder I love making gnome doors, and creating miniature gnome homes “in the wild”.
But, wait! There's more...Much like Doctor Who’s Tardis, the Museum of the Plains is deceptively small-looking on the outside. However, once you’re inside, you realize it’s a maze of buildings linked together. In addition to being a large museum in a small, remote town, it contains collections from thimbles to dinosaurs.
But, wait! There's more...I spent a day in Baltimore and got The Official BluzDude Tour of Baltimore Harbor. It was great – he could charge tourists for that tour! We did a lot in one day! We saw the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, the Aquarium, went up the Top of The World Observation Tower, and saw a really cool ship from Amsterdam.
But, wait! There's more...
