We toured the coast with mom and dad as our guides. It was amazing to see some of the damage from the hurricanes. We looked at a school and I was able to get a few shots through a broken window. This was just one building. (at a local college) The fact that it was still standing was amazing. Many buildings were washed away or later torn down, unable to be repaired.
Even More amazing is what was left standing. This is called the "Friendship Tree" As you can see it has been around for a LONG time!
We went to the Confederate Presidents home. (The Jeff Davis Home) After hurricane Katrina it lost 30 of the 60 columns under the house that hold it up. Amazingly, it did not collapse! This was a beautiful home and they have done wonders restoring not only the house but also the items inside.
Later we went back to the beach where the kids learned to body board. I cant believe they got in that COLD water!
