And we are home!

We survived the fierce watergun fight aboard the Pirate Cruise (which is a must if you have kids and visit Panama City), 2 weeks in the camper, seeing deer and dolphin, some amazing sunsets, 3 days of consistent rain and quite a migration of jellyfish, one severe pinch by a store-bought hermit crab...and now we are home! Vacation was GREAT but it is nice to be home. We left a day early (Friday) in hopes of beating the Saturday mass exodus from the Gulf of and it paid off. There was virtually no traffic on any of the roads that we traveled on. That may not sound like a big deal, but Turner and I were in my truck pulling our big camper while Meghan, Clay and Lanie were following in her car. Well, Lanie decided to test her lungs and make sure her tear ducts were working for about 95% of the ride home and pulling a camper carries its own stresses. So if that would have taken place during that awful Saturday traffic, I am afraid someone might have gotten hurt! But we made it home and actually got the camper unloaded before dark! That's quite a feat considering it took me about 3 days to get it loaded. Now, after doing 7 loads of laundry and getting everything put in its place, I think we are ready to enjoy what's left of the summer before school supplies and undesirable early bedtimes become the focus around our house. So now it is off to the pool to enjoy some swimming where we don't have to shower just to get the sand off!
