To Mobile

This past weekend my parents drove back over to New Orleans to pick us up and take us to Mobile Alabama to visit a house that had belonged to my father's great, great grandmother called the Richard's DAR house. They were having a Christmas open house. This was my second time to visit the home but it was fun to take Clint and the kids along this time.

The tour guide was so excited to meet blood relatives of the Richards' family!

Lizzy and the southern belles.

My happy husband! :)

My cute mom and my cute daughter on the grand staircase.

They had the perfect Santa on the second floor. Lizzy would have been content to sit up there on his lap all afternoon.

Peek a boo!



It's hard to describe how big the estate was so I took a picture from the side yard so that you can see Clint's size in comparison.

It had taken us about 3 hours to drive there and we were going to have to get back in the car and drive the same 3 hours back again. Therefore we decided we needed to skip to get some energy out. But amazingly, even after 6 hours in the car and after 20 hours in the car the week before, my kids were troupers. No fussing whatsoever! Wow.

The end.
