We recently took a vacation to visit some friends of ours that live in Florida. It was AWESOME! We spent our days waking up and running in the beautiful weather, spending all afternoon at the beach, or pool and at night we got to eat at some pretty cool restaurants. Oh and did I mention that the best part was that I got to hang out with one of my favorite people everyday? (Besides Tyler). The week went by way too fast. When the weekend came we drove to New Orleans. On our way we stopped at a gator farm and we got to see alligators and ride an air boat! Lots of new firsts this trip for us. New Orleans (NOLA), was great, I loved the architecture and culture. The market was fun to walk around and we took a history tour around town and in one of the cemeteries. Our tour guide was less than great, his water was spiked with something a little bit strong for early afternoon, but it provided us with some extra free entertainment. The food was also amazing. Sadly every vacation has to end. We drove to Mobile Alabama where our flight was schedule to leave from. Luckily on the way we stopped in Biloxi Mississippi where my cousin lives with his cute family. We were able to spend some time with them which was awesome, I hadn't seen them in years! We flew home the next day and said goodbye to our friends and the beach. Hopefully we will get to visit again soon! Here is a few pics from the trip.
