Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.
Below is a list of recent posts.

After two days of driving and one night in a Walmart, we arrived at Brazos Bend SP (TX) which is south west of Houston. The approach to the park is through flat land that reminds you that this was an ancient...
The Gulf Island National Seashore extends along the entire Gulf Coast, but it not the entire coast. Bits and pieces of the coast have been designated as the National seashore. We stayed at and hiked in the...
It’s a short drive from Mobile to Ocean Spring MS, near Biloxi. Our Lafayette friends Grace Benedict and Kevin O’Brien live there; Kevin is the executive director of the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum....
Slow-ish start this morning with some housekeeping chores, followed by lunch at the Original Oyster House on Route 90. Nice restaurant on stilts overlooking the marsh lands in the estuary. Lunch was good, but...
