Vacation 2012 - Part Seven

This is the final entry, I think. On the last day of our vacation, on the way home, we went to Fort Pulaski National Monument.
Hope you enjoy this little bit of history. I know Theron did. Some things that I did not get in pictures were the firing of the cannons and the muskets, and the fish jumping in the moat.
Sorry, I was either too slow or had my hands over my ears at the time.

Vacation 2012 - Part Six

I'm getting to relive my vacation with each post and each Smilebox. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.
This next one includes the Turtle Center that we visited the same day as our Sapelo Island Tour. I did not get many pictures. I guess I was tired.
It also includes part of the next day at Skidaway Island Park. We went there to explore and do some geocaching.

Vacation 2012 - Part Five

On day three, we scheduled a tour (Little Lady stayed at a vet for boarding). At first, Josiah wasn't sure about riding a boat (a ferry to be exact), but just check out his face in this smilebox and see if you think he likes it.

Vacation 2012 - Part Four

This is day two of our trip. You may think I'm going overboard, but this is a big deal for us. We had not had a real vacation since 2009 when we went to the Creation Museum.

Vacation 2012 - Part Three

This is the third part of our first day of vacation on August 15th. We experienced two different beaches on Jekyll in the morning, after which we had to go back to our hotel room to clean up and rest. In the early evening, we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset and walk at St. Simon's Pier Village.

Eastern Fence Lizard

Thanks to my adventurous boy, I am learning more about nature up close than I ever thought I would. Actually, I thought I knew alot, but he is proving me wrong.
Today was one of those days. He discovered something that he was sure was a baby bearded dragon. One of those cute little things at the pet shop that he would love to have. Not so sure, we searched the internet and quickly found it's true identity.



Eastern Fence Lizard

It is most likely a female. Males have a blue underbelly. It will probably grow to around 4 inches. It is arboreal (likes to live in trees and bushes). For dinner, she likes crickets, grasshoppers, or gnats. They are non-agressive and make good pets, according to the website I read.

She was found in Lawrenceville and we brought her home to research. She seems very calm and does not mind Josiah holding her. Right now she is kept in a rather small container as our larger containers now house a bullfrog and tadpoles (seperately, of course). We will have to look for something larger for her.
