50 hours.

I thought on the way home yesterday (back through 4 states to get to my guy) that I wish I was earning SkyMiles for all the miles I have driven on the road the past few weeks! I would be earning myself a fun vacation in a tropical destination instead of just burning my gas money!

It was a lovely trip to Biloxi and back and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with my dad, mom, and BFF J. It has been quite some time since I got to spend that much interrupted time with J and I am glad that it worked out for her to go. We spent most of Tuesday getting there after leaving around lunchtime but Wednesday was enjoyed tooling around Ocean Springs and sitting by the pool (where I missed my shins with the sunscreen and had pink legs for 48 hours). Thursday we drove around and saw the sights a bit more and then headed out on a historic replica sailboat to watch the fireworks. If you follow me on Instagram or if we are friends on FB, you will have seen that what started as a beautiful sunset cruise and fireworks show turned into a drenched in rain haul it back to the marina ride. No one was injured and we surely made some memories so it was really loads of fun (and hysterical once we got over the initial shock of it raining on us rather unexpectedly).

Drove from Biloxi to Columbus then to Chattanooga yesterday so after being in the car around 9 hours I was thrilled to pull in my driveway. Chad is off today and tomorrow and I am soaking up every minute with him (and unwillingly sharing a few of them) before I leave again EARLY Monday morning.
