Our first trip to the Southern Coast July 2011

We flew our son Chad in from Albuquerque for a little vacation with us. We picked him up in the rain at the New Orleans airport and hit the road for adventure. We decided to treat this trip like a cruise on land and set up a couple of excursions along the way. Or first excursion was to ride an air-boat through the Mississippi swamp lands. We arrived just in time for the last outing of the day. So we were set for a private air-boat fun ride.
Of course we chased Alligators. He was right beside the boat.
A railroad bridge through the swap.


Here we are ready for a fun ride.

This was a big one.

Air-Boat swap fun.

and there were a lot of Aligators.
Our next stop was to stay at Pensacola Beach, Florida. The beach bums.

Our Hotel Beach

More beach bums.
 And of course we had to do another excursion on our Land Cruise. So we all agreed to go and try Parasailing. We had a cool, calm morning for it and had a blast. Very relaxing sailing away up in the sky. No wonder people like skydiving. Maybe next???

1000 feet of rope and about 400 feet off the water

Dean and Becky being very brave. HA
We were able to have dinner one night with Shane's best friend from Albuquerque and his new bride Katie. He is stationed at Pensacola attending the Navy's flight school. He was just about to start flying the T-6 trainers. It was good to see them very happy.
Gavin and Katie and Us. All from Albuquerque in Pensacola.
 What a fun trip had by all. Until next adventure -
