Okefenokee Swamp Park

I was up at 0800...I'm getting enough sleep but it feels weird getting up that late. Jim got up later. One of the first things I do when I get up is open the blinds. This morning the rear one nearly fell out of the brackets. It's now permanently up until we can get some key parts.

After a morning of normal chores we had lunch and then headed to the Okefenokee Swamp Park. What a fun afternoon! For 20 bucks each we got an hour boat tour, a 50 minute train ride and saw a nature show.

Our first treat on the boat tour was this owl

Anne enjoying the boat ride, she's never been in a swamp

Sweetie! She comes when called

Jim took this picture, isn't it cool?

Terry our tour guide. Very informative and entertaining!

The Train

After the boat ride, we caught this train and had a nice tour of the grounds and learned more about the area. There is a village with goats and chickens, old cabins. A small museum dedicated to the last Indian attack in the area.

This was on the wall of the museum

Big gator!

We had a good time touring the grounds and seeing the critters. At the nature show we saw some snakes and a couple small gators. Then we got to see some snakes eat some white mice....really interesting!

We got home shortly after 1700 and Jim and I went out again to get fuel and beer...two very important items on our list. Tomorrow we're leaving and heading to Savannah.

Anne started our dinner and when I got home I fixed the rest of it. We had ham, scalloped potatoes and green beans. We ate outside with a nice breeze. After the dishes were washed Anne and I went for a walk with Boo. We gathered some pine cones but we didn't have a fire.

I came in and watched Dancing with the Stars. Jim came home a little while later. We're showered and it's time for bed!
