Things we've learned from the newest postcards:

Some of the postcards have come in with interesting facts, others do not.  So, from either the postcard itself or the sender's notes...we've learned these things:

1.  Hilton Head Island is known for miles of white sandy beaches and beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
2.  Carolina Beach is a great vacation spot with lots to do.  They have an amusement park and although it's hot there, the breeze from the ocean cools you off.
3.  Gaston Street, in Savannah, GA, has old stately homes with ornate iron work and is a favorite place for visitors to go.
4.  According the the postcard, "Wyoming - Not for Wimps", it states that Bison refers to North American Buffalo, where in other parts of the world they are just called buffalo.  Bison stand 5 1/2 feet high at the shoulders.  Adult males weigh 1200-2000 pounds and females weigh 700-900 pounds.
5.  Virginia City's Comstock Lode yielded more than $400 million in gold and silver, brought Nevada its statehood, and helped Abraham Lincoln finance the Civil War.
6.  Lake Tahoe straddles the California and Nevada borders.  The postcard came from the California side and is a picture of Emerald Bay which is three miles long and one mile wide and the most photographed spot in Lake Tahoe.
7.  Chicago is located on the southwest shore of Lake Michigan and has frequently changeable weather and a colorful history.

oh, and one more : )
8.  Ron Jon Surf Shop is the "World's Most Famous" Surf Shop.  The original shop is in New Jersey but other locations include Cocoa Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Ft. Meyers, Myrtle Beach, Key West, and Panama City.

Great facts and great postcards!  We've really enjoyed receiving them from all over and each trip to the Post Office brings a surprise.  Thanks for all of your help with this project.  Please continue to have friends and family drop a postcard in the mail!!!

Pardon the delay in posts...

We went on our own vacation causing a delay in posts of our new postcards.  Although we did not pick up any postcards from specific places to post (that would be cheating!!)... we did pick up two pretty cool non-specific Ron Jon Postcards that we'll post here. 

Don't know if you can tell...but it's metallic and we thought it was pretty cool! : )

Here's the second one:

This one is also metallic but it was harder to get a good photo of so I took one without the flash so you could see it better! : )

We did make it to the post office on our return home and 7 more postcards were waiting for us. We're going to work on posting them now...  so keep watching for them! : )
