Grandma Ruth is 85

On Grandma Ruth's 85 birthday all of her children gathered and we had a great Sunday Dinner.

Here is a shot the grandkids and great grandkids that were there.

The Trip Continues

The trip continued, April 1 we drove to Hilton Head Island and spent Friday and Sat night there in a super nice RV park - Quite expensive.  The whole island was very exclusive, but there did have lots of bike trails that I rode on.

Outside of a seafood we went to.

On the walkway to the beach - I looked but did not see any alligators.

Sunday we went to church at the Hilton Head Island ward.  We then checked out and drove to  Georgia and stayed 3 nights on Jekyll Island.

Jekyll Island was my favorite spot of the whole trip.  These pics we taken at sunrise on the beach.

These old trees greww in these spots many years ago and slowly the beach has had eroded back.

Very striking pictures!

A bike trail went all around the island and I rode all of it.

There were fabulous old live oak trees with tons of Spanish moss

Next we drove down to Florida and stayed at Tomoka State park just north of Daytona Beach

We had a great camp site.

On a walk around the camp grounds I saw a wild Turkey!

And this home made mini trailer - Really cool.

Next we spent three days in Deland Fl visiting Peggy's Uncle.  We have great visits and really enjoyed our time with them.  This was another major highlight of our trip.

Next we drove west the check out some property that Peggy's parents purchased many years ago.

We stay at Rainbow Springs

Here is the proper that they bought.  About 10% of this development has houses on it.  

Rainbow springs is a great place to visit.  

There was a swimming beach, canoes and lots of folks there.

From here we drove north and visited old friends from the Houghton ward when we lived in the UP.  Sorry  but I did not get a picture of the Nettles.  We dearly love them.

On the way along the Gulf coast we  stopped in Mobile AL and ate Fried Oyster Poor Boys.

In Louisiana we had an old fashioned Crawfish Boil
