So I guess we're not that great at blogging... So I'll try and do a quick catch up of what we've been up too... We finally left Newport Beach, Ca. We had such a great time with family and friends, loved the sun and beaches, adventures to San Diego, going to Mariners Church, all the yummy frozen yogurt:) but it was fun to hit the road again...Our first stop wasn't that far, we wanted to see our Mammy and Pappy and the dogs in the desert first....Had a great dinner and visit and then we were on our way for a couple LONG travel days....
We made it through Arizona and most of New Mexico the first day. The next day we made it to San Antonio, Texas. Had a great night exploring the River Walk, and Alamo....great city:)
From there we headed to our friends in Friendswood, Texas right outside of Houston and stayed for a week:) The Giles family, Mike was one of Ricks roommates in the Navy and Julie was one of my roommates in college:) they have 3 boys and we have the 3 girls:) We had soooo much fun hanging out with their family, lacrosse, basketball games, church, many parks, and a fun date night:) Mike flies for NASA so he took us on an amazing tour, and then introduced us to some of his Astronaut friends....It was sooooo COOL!! So glad we got to see the Giles family:)
From Texas we made it to Mississippi for a night and then to Pensacola, Florida. In Pensacola we spent the night at the Navy Base and Rick gave us a fun tour of the National Naval Aviation Museum:) and had a great time on the white sandy beaches:) From here we headed to the SHUTTLE LAUNCH:)
We found this GREAT spot to camp on the side of the road with about 50 other RV's and tons of other people in Titusville, Fl. right across the water from the launch pad... This experience will definitely be one of my highlights!!! It was a beautiful day and our neighbors from home, the D'Angelo family also met us there and watched the launch with us....
After the launch we headed up to Orlando and had a great time at the Fort Wilderness Campground in Disney World.... Rick also talked me into running in the Princess half marathon while we were there....I've always wanted to do a run through one of the disney parks:) It was a lot of FUN:) Missed my running buddies....
Over all we have had an Amazing couple of weeks, and have visited and seen so many great friends and places.....I've posted a lot of new pictures of all of our latest adventures:) Now that we are back on the road I'll try to be better about updating posts for all of my nonfacebook friends:))
