SPRING BREAK ROAD TRIP: TAKE 2

Day 2 was filled with lots of adventure that's for sure!

I took lots of videos and pictures and I will let them do most of the story telling of our day...so enjoy. FYI...I'm not a professional videographer, photographer or blogger :) I just like to share our stories and adventures in hopes that you enjoy them and maybe we can inspire you or give you ideas on things to do with your family. So, THANK YOU..(insert hand clap and hug) from me and Jason for reading our blog. 

WE  kinda got a late start this morning, but after working all day and the kids going to school and then traveling 5 hours we were all very tired and I wanted to let Jason sleep since he does all of the driving.. Such a champ..really!!! He is awesome! 

Day 2 road Selfie
We made it to Duck Commander after passing it 3 exits up, of course I wasn't doing a very good job with Navigation. Sometimes the BMW gets confused because it needs an update and I wasn't paying attention, but needless to say we made it! It was soooooooo cool, when you watch something for years and then go see it. A...it always looks smaller than it does on TV, trust me have you ever visited the house from the old show Dallas?!? lol and B...of course Willie, Jase and Jep weren't there lol didn't really expect them to be but would have been super cool for the kids......


Phil actually carved this, it was really cool


where the guys work

Jason reading the history of Duck Commander 

Love my ducks 

We really thought the rain was over yesterday and we got lucky but today was filled with rain pretty much the entire way! In this video you can also see how flooded Monroe is. Prayers are definitely needed for the victims. We even saw houses on the left of the highway in water and the right would be fine. It was awful!

We finally made it to Mississippi, which was pretty uneventful except for more rain :(
What was cool though is when we went over the Mississippi river and the bridge

Next stop, Mobile briefly passing through. I will have to tell you that I love Mobile Alabama, its so old and has the most amazing buildings and the homes are all old and I'm sure filled with Characters and history. 

This street of old trees is in Park Place in Mobile 


 I thought this building was beautiful on Lower Dauphin Street

Mobile Public Library in the Church Street East Historic District


Leaving Mobile going into Florida you go through this tunnel


we found the Ocean and USS Alabama, we are hoping to stop here and take a tour on our way back next Sunday. 
 After over 6 hours we made it to Fort Walton hungry, tired and ready to go swimming..well the kids were...




goodnight from Fort Walton Beach
