We are almost there!

   We are finally in Alabama!!  We will not check into our beach house until tomorrow afternoon (Mother's Day) but at least we can say that we are in the state.  Jeff drove the whole way- he is absolutely amazing!  I got to sit and make jewelry.:-)  We ate at a restaurant by the water for dinner.  Katie even spotted an alligator!  Can they swim in salt water??  He was really close so it was quite thrilling.  Tomorrow we will meet my parents and sister at an art festival closer to the beach.  It has an arts and crafts section for children, face painting, yummy snacks and many different artists with beautiful and interesting things for sale.  Hopefully we will have nice weather.  I can't wait to hear the waves, see the ocean and feel the warm sand....  Don't mean to rub it in!  I wish I could bring you all with me!!
