The Gulf Coast is the final set of pics from the West Coast Road Trip. New Orleans was discussed here. Both of my grandfathers served in the Navy Seabees in WWII. The Seabee museum in Gulfport, MS had a marker for one of their battalions, the 62nd. The construction battalions (CBs) were responsible for building and defending military installations during the island hopping campaign in the Pacific. The beach shots are from Pensacola, FL and the abbey is in Charlotte, NC.
I spent some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway as I went through Asheville, NC on my way up to Ohio a few weeks ago. The leaves are just beginning to turn.
I visited Ju-Hui in Ontario and we decided to take a day trip to Point Pelee National Park of Canada. I just couldn't resist the urge to get one more national park under my belt and we were hoping to see some fall foliage. Apparently Lake Erie has a warming affect in the fall, though, and the leaves were still green.
