Travel Guide

One of my favorite shots from the trip, and currently my wallpaper.

The Kenneth L Batts park has a new walkway on the island that extends across the marsh and to the intracoastal waterway. It is a perfect place to walk out and see the sunset.

I am truly in love with aerial straight down shots. Every time I take my drone up I see something with new eyes.

The room was clean. Staff was friendly. The only complaint that I have is that it was really cold in the room and I could not adjust the thermostat to warm the room up. I turned up the thermostat, but the room stayed at 65 degrees.
