We are home. 1599.8 miles roundtrip. Our family of five drove to Houston last Monday night and spent the night at my parents house. Tuesday morning we started our journey. Last year on our way to Florida we spent a couple of nights in Biloxi, so we decided to do the same in '08. Biloxi has come a long way from last year with a lot of new buildings, businesses, roads and cool art. Last year we couldn't believe the continued devastation left in the wake of Katrina. There is still work to be done, but it's come a long way in the 12 months since we'd been there.
We went to the beach on Wednesday and the hotel pool. We found a great park in a cute community called Ocean Springs. It was perfect for the kids to run around and get some energy out. Here is a picture of the best swingset ever (according to Peter). The crossbar was so high. Look at Peter in this picture who is 6 feet tall, and look at how high above him Alex is swinging.
We then returned to a restaurant we liked last year, Mikey's Seafood. Conleigh got her picture taken in front of the sign. Her first crush is named Mikey. When we got back to the hotel, my parents and my sister and her son, Spencer had arrived. After a little visit, we called it a night, so we would all be ready to drive the final 4 hours to Destin the next day. Second installment of vacation coming soon...
