Tom and I came to the States for two weeks at the end of July. Almost immed- iately after arriving in Atlanta, Tom headed off to Oshkosh, WI for an airshow with his dad and sister while I headed in the opposite direction for a visit with my parents and then a brief stint at the beach with Ashley and Cristina. It was a jam-packed two weeks, but lots of fun.As for Tom's trip, he spent 10 days either in an airplane, sleeping underneath the wing of one or admiring them (both in the air and on the ground). And he had a blast. Yes it was hot and there was no a/c, yes they had to walk a lot, and yes, the tent was a little on the short side, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. He went to plane workshops, watched plane movies, saw just about every type of plane there is and even saw Harrison Ford from afar. I'm glad that he had a good time, but was also glad it was him and not me :)
I spent my weekend in Dothan visiting with my sisters and parents, going to garage sales and eating yummy food. Then Cristina and I road tripped to Myrtle Beach, picked Ashley up at the airport and checked into our beach side hotel! We spent our time talking, wading in the surf, talking, sitting in the hot tub, talking, making cheesecake, talking and watching a few movies as well. It was good girl time and the beach was beautiful.
After our respective trips, we met back up in Atlanta for some good steak dinners, some shopping and a few more visits with friends and family. Then, all too soon, it was back to CH. Switzerland is great, but it still doesn't feel quite like home!
Tom got to see his friend Matt who is studying in WI while at the airshow. In the background is the Holst campsite.
Tom was co-pilot!
We took an afternoon and did some shopping.
