Road Trip South - Seeing Friends

The fun didn't stop after Jamie's wedding.  While we were near the coast, we took the chance to spend a couple of days with wonderful friends.  We spent an afternoon with dear friends we met while I was working for the New Orleans Hornets.  Then, we spent two days at my best friend Angel's house, enjoying every minute.  Angel, Walt, Andrew and Nathan have a beautiful home in Ocean Springs, MS.  It felt like a true vacation.  They shouldn't have treated us so well cause now we want to go back :)  We relaxed by the pool, went boating, ate lots of good food and most importantly spent tons of quality time together.  Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!! XOXO  

Dear friends we met at the Hornets - Nathan, Jessica,
Cristina and Ward.

Cristina and I with Melanie and her
baby bump.  Alexander Hawk Wyatt has
been born since this pic and is oh so cute!

It was so good to see Ward and Melanie.  

Cristina with some of the kids.  

On to Ocean Springs - Lovin' life at Angel's resort.  

Nathan got his turtles out to swim in the pool.  Drew thought
that was the absolute coolest thing ever!  

Turtle races :) 

Horn Island!  So many wonderful memories took place there.
It's where Angel and I became friends (my Dad and her Dad
were working together and we invited them boating.)  Horn
Island is located a few miles off the coast of Biloxi/Ocean Springs and is only
accessible by private boat so it stays pretty low key.  The
beach and water are every bit as beautiful as the Florida gulf
coast and you are almost always guaranteed a close up with
some sea creatures.  In this pic a couple of dolphins swim by
not far from where George and the boys were swimming.

Everybody loves Angel!  David cried for her
the entire 12 hours home!

Horseshoe crab.  

Tuckered out on the ride back.  

Drew too. 

Love Angel and Walt's bean bag boating chairs (well, I love
one of them) - purple and gold for Angel and blue and orange for Walt.
