KarenM, I LOVE Key West! I have been there several times and it's the most beautiful place on earth! And to get married there is just way too cool! I'm not Catholic, but I do admire anyone giving up something for Lent. (I'm just a good old Methodist)
PTree, I even lived in Mobile and think it's a beautiful old city. Plus I am just drawn to a beach anywhere! If my memory serves me right, Mardi Gras originated there. I love going through the tunnel.
Is your Grandmother still alive? Small world, isn't it? Gulfshores is very close to Mobile and we go there a lot to the condo.
