New Year’s in Biloxi…

From 2008-12-31 New Years in Biloxi

We decided that this year we would do something different for New Year’s besides sitting in bed and watching the ball drop. So we headed to Biloxi, Mississippi to check out the Casino’s and spend a night away from the jmonsters. We recruited Courtney and Andy to come with us [...]

From 2008-12-29 Ride to F-L-A

On our way to Florida we always get excited when we pass the big water tower that looks like a giant butt. You would think it would be in Georgia but it is actually in South Carolina. The kids always giggle and Daddy and I always shake our heads at their [...]

Florida Fun…

We have tried to do as much touristy stuff including a trip to the Navel Museum, putt-putt golf, and the beach.  Mommy even took them to Sonny’s Barbeque to see where she used to work. They weren’t too impressed but liked the food. [...]

The Final Frontier…

After leaving Tennessee we started to long trip through Alabama. Out of the seven hours we were in the car, 5 1/2 were in Alabama. It is one long state! The boys were pretty quiet during most of the trip, the long days and late nights visiting were finally catching up with them. Smallmonster [...]

Day Two Of The Trip…

We left Columbus after a hearty breakfast that the hotel provided. The jmonsters were excited that they had doughnuts and cereal. For them it was the breakfast of champions. We started our trek to Tennessee and to visit with Brian and Jeri and family. We enjoyed the drive through Cincinnati and Nashville although the [...]

We decided that this weekend was reserved for the boat. It was a beautiful day and we decided that we would try our luck at grilling some hotdogs and sausages on our new little hibachi.  The best laid plans of mice and men, despite the numerous warnings from Mommy that we should try it out [...]
