January Florida Trip - 5th Stop Back to Nashville & then Home

On our return trip we stopped back in Nashville and stayed again at my father's timeshare. This time we were able to stay for 4 days. We went to Nashville's awesome Science Museum and then went to Opryland. It was very nice to just take a break from the ordinary. But it is also good to be home!

We made it to Florida finally on Sunday. Boy was it warm. We went from hats, gloves , mittens to sunglasses, short sleeves, and shorts. What a lovely January break! We stayed at my dad's bay-side house.......here are a few pictures from there.

January Florida Trip - 3rd Stop The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL

After leaving the Space Museum we stopped by a friends home in Huntsville for Pizza and to catch up. It was nice to see them even if for a short time. We then set out to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. This is one of my most favorite places to go and a perfect place for a family pilgrimage. We stayed at Saint Paul's Hamelet guest house. It was wonderful. We were only there for two nights but it was very peaceful and such a joy. I did not get very many photos simply because I just wanted to be........... My children love coming here. The first time we came my son JoJo exclaimed "Mommy are we in Heaven". They are convinced that the Missionaries of the Eternal Word and the Knights of the Holy Eucharists look very much like Jedi. Brother Bernard told us they get that a lot. My husband and I think that for Easter we may send a box of Light Sabers down to them for fun. ;0)-

January Florida Trip - 2nd Stop Huntsville Space Center

Our next stop was the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center in Alabama. It was less than two hours from where we stayed in Nashville and less than two hours from our next stop so we decided to stop and visit. The nice thing about it was our visit was free because of our membership with the science museum back home. Yes that is my husband and JoJo on the rockwall above. This is what a living education is all about.






This is what I love about homeschooling.............

January Florida Trip - 1st Stop

I am the worlds worst blogger. I have said it before. I have not posted in quite some time. January has been an extremely busy month for us. My husband had a conference he needed to attend in Florida just minutes from my Father's home, so we packed up the kids and made the trip a family vacation. We left early on the 20th of Jan because an ugly storm was threatening the midwest. Our first stop was Nashville at my father's timeshare. We only stayed one night and then headed on to another stop. Bobster and JoJo are enjoying the 54 degree temp. Back home they were getting 6 inches of snow.



Shooby decided pink cowgirls are all the rage.

The next morning we woke up to a little snow on the ground, but nothing like what our friends and neighbors were digging out of back home.

Pillow fight!

Thanks for the picture Brother Bear!

God Bless,
Maggie
