Destin, FL

We got to Destin a little later (o.k. - a LOT later) than we planned....we developed a "blistered" tire on the way to New Orleans..Anyway - although a short overnight, Destin was enough to remind me of why living on the gulf coast was so much fun - warm water, warm air - and beautiful beaches...

Yep, even Stephanie liked the water...

Body Surfing Jamesy...

Gerlie & Stephanie having a sand castle competion...

And Andrew enjoying the clear water....

next up - *shudder* Disney - it may take a while for me to get that organized, so be patient we are already back in Yorktown, and busy with that. BUT if you ever get the chance to drive slowly cross country - TAKE IT!!!!!

New Orleans

Yes, we took our kids to the French Quarter- but it WAS Sunday, and we opted to not eat at Emeril's because it didn't open for dinner until after we planned on being on our way back to the campground. Stephanie and James on the trolley on the way downtown.

Ready to start down Bourbon Street

The kids beads, Andrew chose dice, Stephanie chose pink rubber duckies, and James chose spiderman rubber duckies.

Lunch at Pat O'brien's the kids loved that they got fancy drinks in fancy glasses!

Next stop - Destin....
