Happy 2011 -- and we're off again!

We took off for Texas on Wednesday, pulling a trailer containing the Harley, my moped, golf clubs, and (hopefully) enough clothes for the warm days and cool nights in Florida for the next few months.







We drove to Texas for a big annual family New Year's Eve party held at the College Station Hilton -- we have seen scads of fun and funny pictures over the past years, and were finally able to attend this year! Lots of dancing, lots of singing (all caused by lots of drinking), lots of fun!! 

Roger, Danny, Deb and Eddie -
we are definitely in Texas :)

Tiffany, Travis, Amanda and Tabitha in front -
the kids have grown up!

Tequila Rose was the drink of the night for the girls

Voted the most tanned couple

So happy to get to spend some very special time with some very special people.

Sunday morning, we left for Port Orange, Florida, a surburb near Daytona Beach and our home for the next few months.  We knew it would take us a couple of days traveling:

New Baytown Bridge as we left Texas

Welcome to Louisiana

Biloxi, Mississippi water tower





Amazing sunset in Alabama

And now we're spending the night in Crestview, Florida (by Eglin AFB) which is about 7 hours from Port Orange.
