After spending Christmas Day in Dothan, we drove the 10 hours (!) to Kiawah Island, SC to spend a few days with Tom's side of the family. After living in Europe, driving 10 hours seemed like a ridiculously long way to me. Here, driving the 1.5 hours to Zurich seems like major undertaking and driving to Italy, Germany or France seems almost undoable. I was curious, so I looked up how far we could get from Fribourg with a 10 hour or less drive. The answer: London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Zagreb, Rome, Barcelona - just to name a few! Why don't we go to some of these places for a week long visit? Anyway, the long drive wasn't bad (for me at least, I slept) and we stopped by to see my friend Danyel and her family in Albany on our way.
Danyel and I have been friends since 10th grade...what year was that...1997? My how time flies. It was good to see her and catch up, even if it was quick.
Danyel's cuties - Zoey and Taelor.

Smiling and happy after bath time. Thanks to Tia Andrea for the cute ducky pjs :)
Tom and I went on a bike ride on the beach with Nancy (Tom's mom). I had so much fun - maybe it was because it was the first really active thing I'd done in a long time (didn't do anything like riding a bike while pregnant) or if it was the perfect weather and scenery. Anyway, it was a great outing. I saw so many shells and starfish. I kept stopping so I could look at everything. Next time I go to the beach in the winter, a bike ride on the beach will be a definite "to do."
We're riding off into the sunset - haha
The men spending some quality time together - waging war!
