Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......

Well, we made it home today!
We started out the day IN A HURRICANE! Hurricane Dolly made landfall today in South Texas. We woke up to very light rainfall. But hey, it was hurricane rainfall, so we took pictures of us "in a hurricane". How often will that happen??? We were almost all packed up already, but we finished STUFFING the car and headed out from Victoria. (awwwwwww)
As soon as we got out of town, the rain really kicked in. We were tempted to stop at a "hurricane evacuation route" sign, but it was pouring and we already had some pics, so we headed on home. We had to get about 45 miles away before the rain actually quit, but the clouds lasted much longer.
It is a LONG LONG drive from Victoria to home. Of course I couldn't sleep last night, but I really wasn't too tired.
We had planned on stopping and swimming at Turner Falls again, but it was 4:30 before we got that far and we were sure ready to get on home! We finally made it home around 7:30. WHEW!
Of course, we spent the entire rest of the evening unpacking! And we left the stuff in the trunk! Man did we aquire! We got most of that stuff put away and did a few loads of laundry (yes, there's more). We settled down at 10 o'clock and watched a movie in OUR CHAIRS! lol Overdue showers to follow and then to our OWN BEDS! lol
We had an AWESOME vacation! One of a lifetime that we'll never forget. I'm so glad we got to go and do the things we did and stay as long as we did. And we're so glad to be home again.
Since we have very boring everyday lives, the posts on here may slow considerably now, but I'll try to post now and then when we have an extraordinary day. Thanks guys for your interest in our pictures and posts!
