First road trip stop Carrabba's, Memphis TN.
Charley's first visit post womb.
Out of the eight of us at the table, all five adults ordered the yummy Chicken Brian.

Bed jumping at our overnight stay, six hours into the trip, about half way.

Yay, we made it after WAY too much traffic with all the other vacationers.

Swimming towards the beginning of the trip. Later in the week we encountered jelly fish (with stings), rays of some sort, and crabs. So most of us stayed out of the water unless you had a net in hand.

Charley spent about an hour sleeping on the beach most days.

Lu swimming.

Here she is most likely on her way out wanting to go to the pool. The pool was under the house. She loved it!

A must for us Manche's....LuLu's aka Lucy Buffett. We each got a shirt!

Here is the whole crew minus Dave. He is taking the picture.

Lu hula hoopin at LuLu's with the largest hula hoop ever. The size didn't stop her. She is an amazing hooper.

Water fun at LuLu's.

Family Pic

The girls are wearing their one and one matching outfits so far. Wish I would of got a better pic of just the two of them matching.

And the off to the tracks. Lu was supposed to ride with Dad but she went chicken on him. Here he is solo. Last to leave first to come in. Just a bit competitive.

So since Lu chickened it was my idea to take her on the bumper boats. Keep scrooling down.

Jeremy sprayed me the ENTIRE time on the bumper boats. I laughed SO much and left drenched. Lucy on the other hand never sad a peep just rode along.

Shrimp boil time.

Yum!

Charley spent a lot of time in the house with who ever was there at the time or whoever just wanted some Charley time. One day I came up and couldn't find her. She was hiding behind Tami while she was sitting here. Tami got up for the picture.

Had to drive to nearby Pensacola to check out Jimmy's new hotel and Land Shark Landing. Had some Cheeseburgers in Paradise.

Sand fun

Lucy's favorite people on vacation. Leah and Ava. She followed them everywhere and we think she turned 12 on us.

Had a nice time. Hope to return in the future.

Thanks T!
