Welcome home!

We were greeted by Lily and Baby upon our arrival home.  I'm sure Brown Mama isn't too far away...

Although our vacation has come to an end, the memories will last a lifetime.

Thank you David for such an amazing Christmas!!

Bye La Quinta...

Bye Houston.  After a quick breakfast, we are now on the road to home.  My mom and our two puppies drove down to meet/pick us up yesterday.  So good to see them, but I don't want this vacation to end!

Pew boxes...

Families used to have to purchase them for the services.  Most expensive were front and center.  We were asked to sit when they gave a short presentation of the history of the church.  We chose a pew box that Theodore Roosevelt sat in in 1912.

Extra cornbread!

Our awesome waitress hooked us up with cornbread!  Plus more!  She gave us an extra container with butter, plasticware, and even told us to take the table plant to put by our bedside!

Lobster!

David detailed my lobster for me and it was delicious!

He got the prime rib with fresh horseradish and it was incredible!

Since we shared, we both had surf and turf!  Best of both worlds!!!
