Orange Beach - Part Deux

The morning after the wedding I spent a brief stint in the bathroom with a bottle of water, a bag of Tostitos, and my bare legs laying on the cold tile. I never actually heaved (thank goodness), but the darkness and coolness of the bathroom seemed perfect. Then I heard someone in the kitchen, and I got up to find Uncle Joel starting to clean up. I say to him "What was I thinking, making our reservations home for the day after the wedding? Today is going to be horrible!" After some commiserating I throw my hands up and head to the closet to start packing. I begin with my backpack, since it has all the important paperwork. I pull out the reservations print out from Expedia to find out exactly how much time we have before making the trek to the airport, and I see the words "Monday, July 28th". I stare at it for a few minutes, then I take it into the kitchen for Uncle Joel to read, and he confirms - our flight home wasn't until Monday! This, of course, earned me numerous "Duh"s for the rest of the day! However, all was not lost - turns out that Jennifer and Marcus had already left Orange Beach to head for home so the Dick family graciously let us stay with them that night. It was an added bonus because we got to spend more time with Austin and Nicholas and our beautiful nieces and the rest of the gang. The only problem was that my camera battery was dead so no photos. Maybe I subconciously wanted to spend an extra day......that's what Pops and Mimi D always did!!
