Neat driftwood. Ginny wanted to bring it home, but Denny wouldn't let her!!! He didn't want to have to buy a seat for it on the plane.

2013_01_29_08_10_07_10 - Tue Feb 25 12:17:55 2014

Aw, please. It would look so cool in the Butterfly Garden!

2013_01_29_13_12_15_10 - Tue Feb 25 13:23:53 2014

Wow! This looks like a giant Blarney Stone (cake, icing, rolled in peanuts). Oh...Yum!

Little bigger snails.

2013_01_29_14_06_20_10 - Wed Feb 26 07:24:23 2014

It sure is pretty under water.

2013_01_29_14_08_51_10 - Wed Feb 26 07:27:45 2014

Going back in. We have the whole place to ourselves.

Looks like Ginny found more treasures.

2013_01_29_14_16_00_10 - Wed Feb 26 07:39:54 2014

2013_01_29_14_49_38_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:15:08 2014

2013_01_29_14_50_54_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:15:46 2014

The nice thing about the roads around here is that you can just pull over any time to take a picture, and there is no one behind you, or in front of you for that matter, to honk because you are stopping or are in the way.

2013_01_29_14_51_01_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:17:41 2014

Really big cactus.

2013_01_29_14_51_45_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:18:09 2014

Not sure even Denny can eat "the whole thing".

2013_01_29_17_05_21_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:31:50 2014

Pancakes and wine........tasty combination. Now that's what I call dinner!

2013_01_29_17_18_03_10 - Wed Feb 26 08:34:57 2014
