Friday morning started off difficult. No one likes to leave vacation so there was lots of complaining and yucky attitudes. On top of that it was so very hot and humid. But we were able to make it out of the condo just five minutes after check-out time. :)
On our drive back up north to Iuka, we decided to stop and tour the USS Alabama in Mobile Bay. This was very interesting and educational. It would have been a bit more enjoyable if the weather was better. It was also a bit nerve-wracking. I wore Ezra the whole time and the battleship was full of steep ladders up and down. He thought it was great fun- cooing and kicking the whole time. I thought it was very stressful- basically praying up and down every ladder.
The Lord was gracious. Nobody died on the battleship and we had a safe drive home, too. Our later start and battleship detour was costly though. We didn't pull in to our driveway until after 10PM! And I have to tell you it is weird to come "home" from vacation to a rental house. We aren't all the way home yet... I feel a bit like a nomad. :)
