And Now... The Rest of the Story

Next stop Mississippi...



Biloxi, MS happens to be where my mom was born. Tried to get a good picture of the water tower...kinda difficult in a moving vehicle.


There was a scenic drive we could have taken that goes right along the coast line to see the lighthouse, but we stayed on route to our motel in Moss Point, MS. We will need to go back without "the kids" to actually do sightseeing stuff.



At this being our last night at a motel, I would like to give acknowledgement to our wonderful accommodations we had along the way.
La Quinta Inn, Thank you for having convenient locations, reasonable rates and for being pet friendly (and not adding an additional fee for pets!!)



OK, Can anyone guess what state is next...




Yup, That says Alabama! The camera decided to focus on the wonderful bug splatters on the windshield and with the sun shining in that is what you get... oh well...




Here is a pic of the battleship Alabama







And to all Forest Gump fans, Bubba Gump Shrimp this a way --->
In the far bottom left hand corner on the exit sign in AL says "Bayou La Batre", if it's hard to read. If you click on the picture it should make it larger... that goes for all the pics!

Florida, the Sunshine State, welcomed us with what else... SUN. So, yet again, NO picture of the sign (looked just like AL - a buggy windshield), but this is what it looks like thanks to a pic from the Internet :~)

We arrived safely at our destination in Sanford, FL. Joe's mom and step-dad welcomed us with open arms.







Our "kids","Lilly" top right,"Guiness" bottom center, were introduced to their dog "Charley",top left in pic. They seem to be tolerating each other well.

The moving truck arrived 3 days later. Everything traveled well, nothing broken or missing so that's good. We unpacked what we needed and the rest was loaded into a storage unit until we have our own place.

Time to explore our new surroundings... GO TO THE BEACH... oh...and find a job!!
