Trip to Florida Part II

Well we spent 2 days at my brother's house in Kansas, and then we headed off to Florida. We passed thru Oklahoma, Texas and I didn't think my parents could handle another 17 hour car drive so we stopped in a hell hole, called Monroe, Louisiana. If you ever go through there I recommend keep going!!! Then we went on thru Mississippi and Alabama and f-i-n-a-l-l-y...
Florida!!YEAH!!!



Florida has a special smell (salty sea air and sea breeze) memories just came flooding back. It was so great to be "home". The first night there we went to Pensacola Beach Board Walk so every one except Nettie, Tom (my cousin) and I could get a Bushwhacker (alcoholic drink), then we went to a restaurant called Flounders and had wonderful seafood for dinner. We also had a wonderful time chatting with my family I haven't seen in about 25 years. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Tom is such a comedian. He had us in stitches.

The second day we went to the beach with our cousins and Aunt and Mom and hung out and collected shells and then went to a open bar and had fried oysters and crab cakes. Mom and Diane had another Bushwhacker and Nettie and I had a virgin strawberry daiquiri.

Monday we went to breakfast with everyone and said our good-byes and headed home...

It actually went by really fast. The only thing that would of made the trip better is if Craig and Pher were there!

Thanks to all of my family, we had a great time and we love all of you very much!!!
