Or you might notice the lovely, historic homes, many of which are hundreds of … Continue reading

Aargh, Maties! The Tybee Island Pirate Fest
The dog was pretty cool about the fact that his owner had perched a pirate hat on his head. Tongue lolling, he just seemed to be enjoying the lovely October weather on this beautiful barrier island as much as the rest of us. And he was not alone in his pirate garb by any stretch … Continue reading

Quit Yer Crab Inn or Possibly the Best Beach House in the Entire World

Victorian Village Resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
When I heard Elkhart Lake described as “crystal clear”, I just shrugged my shoulders. Yeah. Whatever. I know lakes.
