DETOUR!!!!

GUESS WHAT??? WE HAVE ARRIVED IN FLORIDA!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL STILL ALIVE!!!!!! WE HAVE HAD NO FIGHTS YET!!!!! WE MADE IT SAFELY AND HAD LOADS OF FUN!!!!!!

Delight made it just fine!!!! She made it better than the rest of us!!!!

We stopped to eat lunch about 1:00 at Purvis, MS at the Movie Star Restaurant. It was very good food the only thing is that we didn't get to see any Movie Stars. I don't know how any of us could have been hungry because we had half of the Wal Mart Food section in our vehicle. We started out with a homemade breakfast from Cindy. After that we had fruit, candy, party mix, cookies, cheese and crackers. We did have to make a couple of restroom breaks,too.

THE REAL FUN START WHEN:

We missed a turn in Hattiesburg, MS. (That caused to go at least a 100 miles or more out of the way) After that wrong turn we were 28 miles from New Orleans!!!! Anyway we were glad that we made the wrong turn because we were able to tour the coast line and see the devastation from the hurricane. We went thru Gulf Port & Biloxi Mississippi. The beaches were beautiful and the sand was so pretty and white. (Delight took some pictures and when we get back we will post them) The damage to the houses, buildings and trees was unbelievable. There were a lot of lots with for sale signs on them.
Some houses and businesses have been built back and there are a lot that are in the process of being rebuilt.

We finally arrived around 6:15 at James & Velda Campbell's house in Century, FL. We were sure glad to finally get here.

Velda was kind enough to let me get on her computer!!!

Anyway we are off to Destin for the wedding tomorrow. The weather has been nice. It didn't rain on us at all. We are hoping for pretty weather tomorrow.

Maybe I'll be able to post again before we leave.
