A Gay on the Mississippi Gulf Coast: Ambush on the Road

Family time can always go one of two ways, either fun-filled pleasure, or a evaluate of your patience and tolerance (or in most cases a little of both).  

Every Thanksgiving, I do a route trip with Mama Dawn to somewhere fun.  Past trips have included Branson, Natchez, Nashville, Natchitoches, Mobile, Pensacola, Memphis, San Antonio and Houston.
