We did make it to the Oak Island Lighthouse in Southport, NC this a.m. - were able to see another lighthouse across the bay on Bald Head Island, but the only access was by ferry, and we had one other activity planned.
We made it to Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner NC about 3:00 p.m. We make a quick trip through the Butterfly House - all native butterflies we know and love - and then we went over to take a flat bottom boat trip through the swamp! What a gorgeous place. Our boatsman was from Baton Rouge LA - complete with Cajun accent, a retired steel worker who loves the swamps! The reflections in the black water photographed beautifully! Also, white water lilies, cypress stumps, and an alligator or two! Wish we had more time there, but they closed at 5:00.
With a few wrong turns, we have arrived at our hotel on the Savannah Hwy. We're off to hunt for closeby seafood for supper, and then we will turn in for the night.
I hope to get some pictures loaded soon --- but if I don't I can always go back and add them later to these entries!
Still having a GREAT TIME! We'll be in Savannah tomorrow night!
