Party!!!!!!!!

Friday night we spent celebrating our friend, Matt Bozeman's birthday with a mustache party. Yes everyone had to wear a mustache, including the girls! We had a great time and there were a few that looked a little trashy with their new looks....my hubby included! The mustache looked very weird on him! Here are some pictures to show how we all looked....

The End

Before we left Cumberland we wanted to to go the beach one last time. Too bad it was foggy and windy so when we got out there we didn't venture far. It was freezing and the sand was blowing in our faces! It was still kind of fun though....so this is us saying goodbye to the Island.

Armadillos!!!

Ok, so my friend Katie told me that there were thousands and thousands of Armadillos on Cumberland Island. I figured she was exaggerating a little (or a lot :) But she was totally right! Everywhere we turned there was an Armadillo digging through the dirt to try and find its food. After getting used to them, I decided they were kind of cute...I know who thinks a rodent/turtle with hairy legs and ears is cute....well I do! :)



Along with the Armadillos (and horses) we saw several species of "song birds" (as the park calls them), seagulls, sandpipers, dead jelly fish (I thought they were cool), a snake, opossum, deer, and a few dolphins wile on our trip.

And back to your regular broadcast....

On our third day at Cumberland Island we got up at 6:30am to walk to the beach (in the dark) and waited until 7:30 (in the cold wind) to see the sun rise....or not. The sun was not going to come up this day. :( There was just too much fog for the sun to peek its head out. So disappointing since the day before was beautiful!


After our "sunrise" we made breakfast and enjoyed the morning reading at our camp site. It was chilly out so we also enjoyed the fire! In the afternoon we decided to go the the ruins again. We saw more horses and took many more pictures. :)


We also checked out the salt marshes at the south end of the Island...


On our way back, Eric tried to be Tarzan.... :)

Don't tell him I told you....but the vine broke :(
