Fourth of July Weekend

Now we just need to buy a boat! How Beautiful!
Our beach crew
Inside What one of the slave homes would have been like
All of these were slave homes

Omar went to Utah and Arizona without me and so I spent my time at the beach with some members from the Spanish Branch we attend. My mom drove up and spend the weekend with me. We also went to Kingsley Plantation. It used to be huge covering most of Northeast Florida. There were a ton of slaves and the owner actually married one of them who was an African Princess and left her everything once he died. It was really pretty - they grew rice, cotton, timber, indigo, and a few other things.

those sandles you are wearing at the plantation with mom, did you get those from the house? Because they look a lot like some I accidentely stole from Gant Pratt and left at the house... :) You look good, I'm glad you got to go camping.

I don't know if you've changed your gmail acct. or what since you got married, but I wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know it's still 15 min. away here in UT but I figured it's your day of birth down there in FL. I hope you have a great one!
