We traveled up to Columbus for the long 4th of July weekend. This was our first time up as a family since 4th of July last year. I must say this was the best Columbus trip to date. It was filled with lots of quality time with family and friends, and great food. We drove up Friday night and got into Columbus around 3am. Driving overnight made the trip much simpler as we didn't have to worry about snacking, stopping as much for restrooms, fighting over which dvd to watch, etc. For the most part it was just me and Terry talking and the kids sleeping. Perfection.
Each morning in Columbus we were treated to wonderful breakfasts thanks to Grandma and Granddaddy before we would head out to make our rounds around Columbus/surrounding areas. One of our firsts stops was to visit Terry's friends that he grew up with. We had an awesome time just relaxing with Mike, Mike's mom, Brian and Brett. It's always entertaining to sit to the side and listen to Terry interact with these guys. I was able to spend time with Mike's mom who is so very similar to my mother. She made the kids the best fruit plate to snack on complete with whipped cream! So good. The kids enjoyed themselves so much that they kept asking us if we could go back to see "Daddy's friends".
After the kids took a looong nap on Mike's couches, we wrapped up our visit and went to visit my old college suitemate, Monica, in Union Springs, Alabama. It had been about a year and half since I had seen her - I was in her wedding - and ohhhh how things have changed since then! She has a new baby, Marckella (I'm pretty sure I misspelled her name) and another one on the way! Marckella was absolutely adorable and Monica, as you can see, is a beautiful mother/mother-to-be.



I can't believe it has been 22 years since we met on Shelton Lane!

Monday was another great day of family fun and visiting. We had a great time at Lake Bottom Park. What a beautiful area...nice playground, wonderful shade. The kids had a blast sliding and swinging...
So that was our 4th of July weekend. It was so wonderful to see family and friends...we hope to get back up there very soon!
