Family vaca

After my Texas two-step - Mom and I headed for Florida. We decided to stop in Biloxi,MS to break the trip up. We knew it would be interesting. Neither of my children have stayed in a hotel (all in one room). I knew Gray would be fine...Sadie...not so sure. But we took the challenge. 

We arrived in Biloxi and headed straight to Wal-mart. Mom was spoiling the kids with toys (she doesn't see them that much) and we thought it would keep them entertained in the hotel!




 It was a successful night, except for me. I couldn't sleep. Not sure if I was excited or maybe grayson was a bed hog.

We headed out fairly early and ate big breakfast at cracker barrel. Grayson is really into Star Wars and him and Sadie were constantly humming the star wars tune. Mom and I would hysterically laugh (delirious). We enjoyed our visit in the long car ride. Mom is a trooper. I miss her so much - I hate being far away.

We finally arrived in Destin. This is the view from our deck.

Clear water, sugar sand. It is worth the long trip.

We were so happy to be there with Fern's parents, sisters and all their kids. It was a great way to make up for lost time over this past year. (We were spoiled and lived  5 mins away in Texas). Not to mention - some fabulous babysitter cousins while on the beach!

My dear friend Lacey and her family were in Florida at the same time. I have not met Emma, so I was thrilled they came by.

Mom and I headed out and made the full drive home to Lufkin. It wiped us out!
