I start this post with a warning: LOTS of PICTURES! I am back from Spring Break vacation and I have a ton of pictures to share. My family and I traveled to the Gulf Coast with a stop over in Natchez, Mississippi along the way. I've wanted to visit Natchez ever since I began reading
Greg Iles books. Many of his stories are set in this quaint old river town, including
Turning Angel (there really is a Turning Angel) and
The Devil's Punch Bowl.

Our stay in Natchez was brief, but memorable. We ate the best BBQ ever at
The Pig Out BBQ! We plan on revisiting this historic town again soon!
We continued driving south and finally made it Orange Beach, Alabama. We had a terrific time here and in nearby Navarre, Florida. The beaches were gorgeous!
 |
| Boogie board! |
 |
| Doug and Charlotte's award winning sandcastle! |
 |
| Snorkeling for shells |
 |
| The sand dollar Charlotte found! |
The saying about never forgetting how to ride a bike is true! It had been several years since I rode, but riding through the State Park was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip! We were surrounded by nature...some kind of scary. We saw alligators and snakes!
 |
| There isn't a fence here! |
 |
| I nearly ran over this snake on my bike! |
 |
| The Karate Kid bird? |
Besides seeing alligators in their habitat on the bike trail, we got to go to
Alligator Alley where we all held a few "ankle biters!"
I also got the opportunity to do another activity I haven't been able to do for several years (due to my knee)..golf! We even got Charlotte on the course for her very first lesson!
 |
| Swing! |
 |
| Note the sunburn! |
And of course there was a lot of eating on this trip! Great shrimp, crab and even nachos!
I had such a wonderful time on our Spring Break trip. It was hard leaving the sun and the sand and gorgeous water. Now, back to reality and back to work! The brightside to being back home? I get to work on my batik
Blueberry Hill quilt! Stay tuned!
Tootles!

I am so glad you had a great time on vacation!! Love the pictures! I am planning to go to the museum outside of toronto that is an Anne of Green Gables museum. I love Anne of Green Gables. My mom introduced me to her. We even went to Prince Edward Island because that is where the book took place and where the author (my absolutely absolute favorite!) lived and wrote. It was an awesome vacation. I am not sure who is going with me, I am hoping maybe my friend, Kathy and her girls, but I am not sure at this time.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I am sooooo glad you had a good time!

Hey Angi! It looks like you had a GREAT time on your trip, and I'm happy you got to enjoy the things you love doing. Personally, I think you can't beat the beaches along the Gulf Coast...of course, being from along the Gulf, I'm very partial! :o) And that's a cute photo of you holding the baby alligator....I see that they taped his mouth shut. Good thing...they can bite pretty hard at that size!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Blueberry Hill quilt!
Have a great weekend!
XOXO,
Cyndi
Oh it looks like you all had a wonderful time...one day I would love to go down to that area. It looks like your new knee is holding up just fine...I loved all the pictures!!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell
ReplyDeleteand gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
