Blennerhasset Island




Savannah and Grandpa McDonald - Parkersburg West Virginia in the background


Savannah tried to keep a smile even though it felt like her face would crack cuz' it was soooooooooo cold!!


This is us on the sternwheeler from Belpre, Ohio to Blennerhasset Island.  We weathered the weather and rode outside.  Savvy is sporting her new camoflage hat that Grandpa gave her -- Thanks a lot Grandpa!!!!!



We were having a nice peaceful ride until.......................




Need I say more?

LOL - When the Captain handed the wheel over to Savannah he said to turn a little to the left - she did and the wheel caught and spun about 10 times -- the boat was headed for the shore!!

He helped her correct it and we were back afloat.




We took a wagon ride around the island with a wonderful tour guide named Maxine - smoky voice, loud voice, country as they come.




It was so cold that the people that work there even had a nice fire going to try and stay warm.

Many famous people have visited the island:

George Washington
Merriweather Lewis
William Clark
Aaron Burr
Johnny Appleseed
Tiffani Irwin
Savannah Smith
