Shiver me timbers!

I'm sure most of my readers have figured out why I'm still not posting after the holidays. It's COLD!

In fact, it was 21 degrees here on the island this morning, with wind gusts around 25 mph (it was gusting up to 33 mph yesterday). That's the coldest morning we've had in this new year -- at least on my balcony! To add to the discomfort, the humidity in the house is 20% downstairs and 36% upstairs! We're definitely not use to that on the island!

In the meantime, however, I've been working on photos I took during a cruise from New Orleans to Cozumel over the New Year holiday. I decided not to mix photos I've taken on trips off island with those on our beautiful beach, so I have created a separate blog on which to post my travel photos in the future.

Bellingrath Gardens

I prefer to keep my B.I.G. blog all about the island or events and activities I enjoy not far from home. Occasionally, however, I take roadtrips and would like to start sharing them with you.


So I started a second blog called "Jaunts & Journeys with DJ" on which I'll post photos of other places or trips. and each time I post, I'll provide a link on this blog.

Most recently my husband and I took a trip to Bellingrath Gardens, about an hour and a half drive from my house - perfect for a day trip. I've been there several times, but this time I'm sharing my visit with you.
