Back...Again

After stopping by Kinston to pick up Emma, we made it back to Andalusia about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. We unpacked, started some laundry and tried to catch our breath for a minute and by then it was almost 6:00. We decided to go on to church and after it was all said and done, we were in bed at 9:30.

Gulf Shores was excellent. We had a great time. The beach was nice, the weather was great and there was plenty to keep us occupied. We weren't really able to get in the water on Friday due to the jelly fish, but the rest of the weekend, they were fine with only one or two here and there. The area was covered with shells and DeAnne set out to find as many as she could and ended up bringing home a whole one that's the size of your palm. She was really excited to find it and she couldn't have been happier about it. We got a little sun, but not too much. Courtney on the other hand. She got a little too much on Saturday and was feeling it pretty well on Sunday. Hopefully she's better today.

On Friday night we went and watched "The Dark Knight" and I have to say, it was the best movie I've seen all year. It's a shame about Heath Ledger. He was incredible as the Joker. The whole cast was awesome. There really wasn't a weak link in the entire movie. It's long, but it's worth the length to let the story lines play out. It's also scary. Not in a "boo!" way, but in a psychological way. The Joker really plays to the fears of all the other characters and winds up pushing everyone to the edge. It's one of the best Joker stories I've ever seen. Bottom line, go see this movie (if you're over the age of 13).

Saturday we played mini-golf and DeAnne and Edwin raced go-karts at a little amusement park. We had a good time. Edwin won the round of golf, but DeAnne got revenge for us all on the track. Edwin still couldn't believe it yesterday when we left to come home.

I'm running a little late this morning. I had to shave and it's put me behind so I'm going to stop here. There are a few more stories to tell and I'll try to cover everything this week. We'll be gone again on Friday. We're going to Atlanta for the Butch Walker show, so there won't be a blog on Friday, but we'll see what we get to the rest of the week. Have a good Monday.
