Vacation No. 2

We left for Florida on Saturday June 19th.  We picked up Mom in Shreveport a little later than planned....Phillip cut himself with his pocket knife right as we were getting ready to leave Arkadelphia.  This was not a minor cut...blood splatter reached over 5 feet high on the bathroom wall!  He had to have 6 stitches at Baptist Medical Center here in town.  They did a fantastic job - it healed very nicely.  We took I-49 south from Shreveport to I-10.  This is the first time that we've gone this route and it was great.  Not much traffic on 49 and interstate the entire way.  We spent the night in Moss Point, MS.  Sunday we hit the road early and we were in Perdido Key before lunch.  We had a great week hanging out at the Condo with the Pitts and Burris crew, as well as the other families.  Phillip, Mim and I stayed at a hotel in Gulf Shores, but hung out at the condo with the fam all day.  Some pictures below:

This last picture shows the boom that was out in the bay on the west side of Perdido Key.

Although oil was coming on shore to the east and to the west of us, we had no problems...the weather, beach and water were all beautiful.  Phillip, Mim and I headed out on Thursday morning early and we had Mim home by 4:00.  A fun time was had by all....
