More Highlands

December 3, 2020

We met up with our friends Friday morning for a little adventure walking around a new development – hiking trails, golf, a small lake, even chickens!

The boys spent the afternoon at home waiting for Maxwell’s shoes to dry! Robert went to the gym and Samantha and I took a little golf course walk. Perfect! That night Robert and I went out to dinner with Patrick and Liz which is always a treat. We started Saturday off on the right foot with a walk to the waterfall…

Highlands for Thanksgiving

December 2, 2020

We headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving and had a great trip as always! We left early Wednesday morning and got there after lunch. There was a little rain that afternoon so we didn’t do much but we were happy to be there!

As has become a tradition, we hiked Whiteside Mountain on Thanksgiving morning! This is our 6th year to spend Thanksgiving in Highlands and our 4th year in a row to do this hike on Thanksgiving morning. It’s a great hike with the very best views at the top.

Our last day in Naples was also Spencer’s 8th birthday!! Not too bad to get to spend your birthday in one of your very favorite places! We had brownies the night before – birthday boy’s request!

The only bad thing about Spencer’s birthday? We had to leave Naples that evening to get back to Birmingham.

Naples

October 22, 2020

The kids got out early for conferences last week and had eDay on Friday so we hopped on a plane Wednesday afternoon and headed to Naples! It was the first time for the kids to be in an airport since the pandemic but I wasn’t worried – they are expert  mask wearers!

This crew was pretty darn happy to see GJ at the other end of the trip!!

Thursday was Susu’s 98th birthday (wow!) and we got to zoom with her which was a treat.

Robert joined us on Thursday night and we had a great time – and didn’t do just a whole lot. The best! Well, we actually did a lot but not vacation things. GJ and Daddo have bought a new, smaller house so we helped move things over and get stuff set up. The kids enjoyed swimming in the new pool and learning to play pool!

We all got a good workout in moving beds, the slot machine, and the Peloton! We can do it!

We did make it to the beach and it was just about perfect. Can’t beat the beach in October!!

After spending the month of June at the beach without Robert, I think the boys were really happy to have him there to throw the football!
