Christmas in Mississippi


Since this Christmas was to be only Erleen and Warren, we decided to tak a road trip. We traveled through some 17 states during our two weeks on the road. We stopped in St. Louis to take the tram to the top of the Arch (some 620 feet up). Christmas day was spent driving the length of Mississippi.



After touring St. Augustine, Florida, we spent five days in a beautiful condo in Orlando.



While in Orlando we enjoyed a dinner show called Arabian Nights. It consisted of a large cast of Arabian horses, actors and acrobats.




We spent an afternoon on the beach at Clearwater, Florida on the Gulf coast. It was 85 degrees.




In Branson we took the "Tour of Lights". It was a 45 minute drive through an amazing display of lights.




Branson, Missouri is a family-oriented Las Vegas. We saw two great shows and visited a theme park where we were incarcerated.




During our trip the weather was perfect everywhere we went. Upon returning home, we found that Hannaford had received its first snow.





After four or five inches of snow, I finally got to use my snow blower.

  4. Awesome snow-blower dad. How strange to go from warm sand and palm beaches to icy snow. It must be a fun contrast.
