Time Down South



Geoff, Liam, and I got to spend 2 good solid weeks down in Alabama and Florida at the end of June/beginning of July. We decided to drive down this time so we could bring Bella with us, along with all of our beach equipment. We split the 12 hour drive to Pell City into 2 halves, staying overnight in Abingdon, VA, which is just north of the Tennessee border. (It always amazes me that half of the drive to Alabama takes place in Virginia--what a big state!) We all did well, despite being a tad bit cramped, even in Geoff's 4Runner! On Monday, we made it to Mims and Grandfather's house (the house where I grew up), and then we proceeded to have a week of honest fun. Bella got to go outside without a leash and chase geese and ducks. Liam got to go on his first boat ride and help pick some homegrown vegetables from the garden. Geoff got to fish with my dad, and I was able to visit some good hometown friends. The week in Pell City was very relaxing, just as life usually is down south. It was a great lead-up to our week at the beach. Stay tuned for more posts and pictures! Love to all!
