Beaches, Sunsets, and Snow = Road-trip

Hi everyone.  Here are just a few highlights on our road trip to Florida to visit family...

Here we are with Josh's Aunt Lil and Uncle Jerry.  They were great tour guides and hosts for our trip!  So much fun!
They took us to the smallest post office in the United States.  We mailed our friend Maggie's Birthday card from here.  We hope it didn't get lost in the vast pile of mail they get daily...
We checked out the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve while we were there.  Jeryn had a great time and we saw lots of gators!  


They sure have big claws!  Look out!  Ouch!

We capped off the visit with a great sunset at Naples Pier.  Hundreds of people show up for the sunset and everyone cheers as the sun sets.  It was really pretty.
The road trip was fun, but certainly a long drive.  Not to mention that we had to trek through some heavy weather.   Fortunately, we made it safe and sound!  Atlanta was in the middle of a snowstorm as we made it home.  Hotlanta?  Not in March...
We came home to find that Murfreesboro had been hit with 7" of snow!  Ahh?!  Most of it melted by Sunday afternoon, but welcome home I guess, huh?
Here are the rest of the shots from our trip...

Cool pictures! Fun to see Jer and Lil too. Did the drive home remind you of MN??
