Today began with the boys heading out for a couple more hours at the Naval Aviation Museum. The girls stuck around the hotel and packed, read, etc. Then we took Greg to the airport to get his one-way rental car home, after which we headed west. After driving about 3-1/2 hours, we stopped in Denham Springs, LA, to have lunch/supper with Ginger and her girls. Ginger is an online friend from my wonderful homeschooling email loop, Support4Homeschool. I've been a member of this loop for almost 10 years, just 4 months after it's inception. I think there were only about 200 members when I first joined. There are 2000 or so now! Anyone, this has been the year that I'm getting to meet so many of these wonderful ladies live and in person. I met Emily (who lives pretty near to me in central FL) in October. On this trip, I get to meet Ginger and DeEtta, one of the loop owners. I WILL get to meet Yvonne in Tampa and Lisa in Jacksonville someday! :-)
Here are the three attempts we made at getting a picture of the uncooperative children. My kids are on the left: Gerren, Landon, Carys and Chase. Gingers girls are on the right: Morgan and Brooke.
Gerren took this picture of Ginger and me. We were more cooperative!
After a fabulous lunch at Cocodries, we drove 3-1/2 more hours to Beaumont, TX, where we're spending the night. We hope to see a couple of local sights in the morning before heading to San Antonio. Keep reading!

Oh, you beat me to posting! You're good! I hope you had an uneventful drive to Beaumont!
It was SO nice to meet you! Your family is great and feel free to drop Carys off on your way back to Florida. :^)
How exciting!
I wonder if I'll meet any of you one day?
How COOL to meet Ginger and her girls! Why were the kids uncooperative about the pictures? *MY* dd just loves having her picture taken! (NOT!!!!) lol
