The Nannies: 2012

Alabama

Keith had to go up to Madison, AL on a business trip and he invited me to come along. We got there about 12:45 so we had lunch and then drove to where Keith had to go. He went in and I waited in the car for 4 hrs. Played on the phone, looked at a housing magazine, slept then started watching Thor on my phone. Finally he got done. We went and checked in to La Quinta in Huntsville, AL and then to dinner. We shared a 14oz Ribeye from Lone Star Steakhouse. Yummy.
The next day we took a few side trips on the way home. One was to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville We didn't go in but drove around and took pictures.We would like to go back sometime.
The next stop was Florence, AL. The city I was born. I haven't been there in over 45 years and I don't really remember it except through pictures. We drove to the house where we lived and it didn't change much but the city sure grew.

California Trip Part 1

Devin and I started on our big adventure on Thursday Sept. 13^th. We drove from MS to Abilene, TX where we stayed with some friends. Friday we drove to AZ and stayed with the Tim Brady family. We arrived in CA on Saturday Sept. 15^th (Devin’s 20^th b-day). We had a good time together on the trip. We listened to Dub Step and The Hunger Games and talked. Devin stayed for the most part in the Torrance with friends and I went to Huntington Beach to stay with my sister, Nancy. It was nice to meet family members we have never met or make new memories with kids that didn't remember us.
