{Summer FUN} The Gulf Coast

So this time last week, we were here...



on Mackinac Island in Michigan...

and now we are here, well, the two of us at least...





It's not a happy or fun reason that we hit the road again, but we decided to make the most of it.

One of my dear college friends lost her daddy this week, and well, I've been there, and it is an awful place to be...  So, I figured that the least I could do was show some support during a really tough time...

This little guy came along for the ride as my travel companion...




And, it just wouldn't be right if we didn't make a few historical stops along the way, right???

On the way down, we took a detour through Selma, AL, and visited the grave of our 13th Vice President, William R. King, who served under President Franklin Pierce...






The next morning, we popped over the border into Mississippi...




and visited the site of both Camp Jefferson Davis...





and President Zachary Taylor's summer home






On the way home that afternoon, we made a stop in Montgomery where Rosa Parks made history in the bus we visited (last week!) in Michigan...
