Gustavacation

We ran from Hurricane Gustav after local officials issued a mandatory evacuation for our area of the Gulf Coast.  We camped out at Scooter & Claire's house in Austin along with Bonny & Steve and Vickie & Bailey Moore.  Scooter & Claire were traveling, but we made ourselves at home knowing they expected us to use the place like it was ours. 

Boy, did we take over the place!  What the neighbors must have been thinking!  We had taken all the cars to avoid flood damage and had around 6 vehicles between us.  Of course, we had to take the dogs too!  

The kids played video games (we couldn't very well have evacuated without those!) while we ran around town like we were on a vacation.  In fact, after getting the all-clear and returning home to no damage, Bonnie dubbed the trip our Gustavacation and sent me these photos.

Even Honey looks like she's enjoying herself.

I hope the next evacuation goes as well.  They are a pain, no doubt, but would be fair worse if accompanied by massive damaged upon our return home.

Thanks for the hospitality, Scooter & Claire.  Our only regret was that you weren't home!
