Well, we made it to Mobile and back without incident, in between storms Fay and Gustav. We spent the night in Vicksburg on the way there and back, because there was no way we could do the whole trip in one day with a baby. After a few hours, Anna gets enough of that car seat!

Anna got to meet her great-grandparents—David’s mom’s parents and his dad’s mother—as well as a couple of aunts and an uncle. They were very happy to finally see her! She didn’t quite get in all the nap time she’s accustomed to, which made her a little clingy, but she was still pretty happy and gave everyone lots of those great Anna smiles. David’s blog has a couple of cute videos of them having fun together after a day of visiting.

On the return trip we got to stay in a B&B instead of a hotel. It was a little cabin on a plantation just outside of Vicksburg. If you find yourself needing to spend the night in Vicksburg for any reason, I recommend it. Beautiful setting, good-sized cabin, tasty hot breakfast. The only thing I didn’t like was the dead animal heads hanging on the walls, but that’s a matter of personal taste I guess.
