Back from a short vacation

My sister and her family invited me to go with them on vacation.  It was a free trip so I said yes.  I have been dealing with a lot of stuff in my personal life and decided a break would be good.  We went to her in-laws house in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi.  I had never been there and had a blast.

We went to the beach one day.  Took the kids to a water park one day.  My sister and I slipped of and when to Gulfport to a bead store called, The Bead Shack.  It was awesome.  I will be making the trip back over there for sure. I have a necklace to make out of some beautiful turquoise to make.  I will work on that soon cause I want to wear that to a wedding in two weeks.

I also did some crocheting on the trip.  I found some fun fuzzy yarn and decorated some flip flops for my self, my sister, and her daughters.  They turned out very nicely.  I am also working on some lace trim handkerchiefs that I started on the trip.  I wanted to take something to work on that was small and would not take up a lot of room.

And the day before we left we went to New Orleans and went to the Zoo.  It was awesome.  I had never been to the Audubon Zoo.  I truly enjoyed it.
