Back from the VACATION!!

Hello!
We left last Monday(Aug 1st) for vacation. Me, hubby, Brady and my mom drove 12 hours to Slidell Louisiana to visit Steve's parents, my inlaws. We dropped off the dog at Watterson's then picked mom up at the car fixer place so she could get her SUV fixed while we were gone. Then our 12 hour drive began. The first 9 hours went by ok, but the last 3 really sucked. We were so ready to get somewhere, take off our shoes and rest. While we were down there we went on a swamp tour which was great!! We saw tons of gators that came up right to the boat. I will try to post some pictures in a few days. We took videos of it, but my mom took pics.
We went shopping at the Big Dogs outlet store, our favorite!! We are a Big Dogs family, who also own a BIG dog. We went to Casino Magic where I won nada. We ate at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, which the food is wonderful if you are ever down that way. We played the slots and I won $71, putting in a $5 my mom gave me. I had it up to $97 but then had to get greeeedy and try to hit again. I got down to $76 and cashed out. It was very exciting since I never win in Miami. Another day we visisted with the rest of Steve's family, we went shopping again at the mall by their house and then went to the Bayou store which was very interesting. We left Saturday evening around 7pm. There was no way I was going to drive straight through, so we stopped at Nachitoches?!sp?? We never figured out how to pronounce that name. There was one sign that said Many Nachitoches, but we found out that "Many" was a town and also "Nachitoches". We drove 5hours that night, checked in, called Dominoes and ate and went to bed. We drove 7 hours the next day, taking our time because we just had to eat the Shoneys breakfast buffet. Oh and on the way home had to keep track of the race. Which, by the way Tony won!!!
When coming home that night we found out the our house had a large population of fleas since I guess a couple were in there and then they multiplied while we were gone. We had to go to Walmart and then come home and bomb our house, and we went to a motel. fun fun!!
Had a great vacation though!!!!!
