day 3

arriving at our rooms for the night, we found ours already inhabited. he was not very happy with us for moving in on him. we closed him in the bathroom and he got out whatever way he had gotten in...

what a lovely and restful place!
we were hot and sweaty and the pool felt WONDERFUL!
these lovely wrought-iron tables and chairs were beautiful to look at... i loved the design!
but not so comfy to sit on! but i love the pattern...
katie found a kid to play with, of course...
and the meals were delicious.
hit the road for another day of driving. colorful towns and roadside stands.
then we played tourists for awhile at the beach... aren't these little dresses cute?
relaxing at the beach...
we stuck our feet in the Gulf of Mexico.
ah... i'm always loving it at the beach!!!
beach vendor...
a flower growing at the side of the road pavement...reminded me of morning glories...
and a sea-horse for you, jessie!!! you know what to do...
challenge of the day... flood waters. this was a 2-mile stretch of water over the roadway...
we followed a semi through the water...
we passed by a town completely under water. my heart was broken for these people whose homes and belongings were lost or destroyed...

a shot of the flood waters on the roadway taken through the passenger door...
the other challenge of the day... the van over heated and we had to stop in a little town where clint borrowed a mechanics tools to work on it. we had quite a lovely time with a wonderful family, which i will tell you about tomorrow. God is keeping us safe and well and providing well for us. thank you all for your prayers! they are working!
