The MG
Had the opportunity to take my wife on a spin down the PCH in this little beauty. It's a 1958 or '59 MG model A owned and restored by my brother-in-law's father.
To Kill a Mockingbird
This courtroom is the one they used as the model for the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird." The courthouse is in Monroeville, Alabama, which is where the author Harper Lee is from, and I believe still resides. It's also the place I spent every Wednesday morning for 9 months doing service while I was on a church mission.
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Jamaica is by far the worst place I have ever been. Every 5 feet we walked there was either a cab driver street vendor or drug dealer nagging you to buy something or get in their cab, and when you tell them no they get somewhat hostile and some would even accuse us of not liking them. We walked around for about 20 minutes and got so annoyed that we payed $26 to go to a private beach just to get away from everyone, and there was still people on the beach pestering you to buy stuff. If you ever go on a cruise avoid the ones that go to Jamaica. It's not as cool as it sounds. I wish I could have spent more time photographing this place, but I simply got too annoyed with the people.
Hell and Back
The next leg of our journey was on a cruise ship in which we visited Cozumel, Mexico, The Cayman Islands, and Jamaica. Our favorite place was Grand Cayman where we visited a small community called Hell. Not sure how it got it's name, but it gave me an excuse to tell people that I've been to Hell and back.
The Big Easy
Stop number two on our vacation was New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is a very interesting city with new and strange things around each corner. If you haven't visited before you need to go at least once. I wish I could have stayed longer, but it is no place to be alone with your wife without a car (two white people dragging a suit case around stick out like a sore thumb.)
Sweet Home Alabama
Recently my wife and I went on a 2 week long vacation that started off with a few days stay in Monroe County, Alabama where I served part of a mission for my church. We spent most of the time visiting people so I regrettably didn't take as many pictures as I would have like to. Nevertheless here are a few from the trip.
