The PITCA convention was held and we stayed at the Aztar Casino Hotel in downtown Evansville – right on the Ohio River. I enjoyed the parts of the convention that I attended – it’s amazing how knowledgeable people are. But I also used some time while Lynn was busy with trivet things to explore the area looking for photo ops.
There’s more than birds in St. Augustine
But you shouldn’t visit St. Augustine just to watch the birds – it has many other photogenic settings. In this post, I’ll show you a few that you should consider seeing.
Ravine Gardens State Park
I had never heard of Ravine Gardens State Park until Lynn mentioned it to me after reading about it in our Florida guidebook in the St. Augustine section. This 59 acre park is about 35 miles south west of St. Augustine in Palatka, Florida and about 90 miles north east of the Orlando area.
Sharing sights and vision – Goats on a roof
Before Sara and Mike took Lynn and I to Wisconsin’s Door county, I’d never seen (or heard of, or even thought about) goats on a roof. But on N Bay Shore Dr in Sister Bay, you’ll come across a small herd of goats on the roof of Al Johnson’s Swedish restaurant.

Kennedy Space Center, Florida
If you are at all interested in technology and space exploration, then you really should visit the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) when you are in Central Florida.

North to Alaska, Ch. 1: Intro and Wildlife
Lynn and I have talked for a long time about taking a cruise to Alaska. Since we’re celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary this year, we finally decided to book on Holland America’s MS Westerdam.
