Florida Trip 2006
Family Trip to Florida
In June 2006, we traveled to New Orleans and Florida with Jennie's parents Olle and Yvonne. It was a fun road trip, filled with alligators, warm beaches, and relaxation. We stayed at Jerry's mom's house in Port Charlotte and visited with Jerry' aunt Kathy and cousin Mike. Marvin and Austin were celebrating their birthdays too, so Kathy threw a party with pizza, cake and ice cream.
On the way to Florida, we stopped for a night in New Orleans. We went on a swamp tour and visited an Historic Plantation. Below are some of the pictures from the trip.
