Diane- I think you follow more blogs than me! I thought I had a long list but you've got me beat. I often vacation on the gulf coast-last year was Gulf Shores and this year Cudjoe Key- beats Michigan any winter day! Please add my name to your generous give away and stop by mine-lucky #777 on the list.
