AU Girls

Last Friday, my mom, Natalie, Bennett, and I traveled up to Auburn to visit with Rachel and just hang out together. I love our girl get-togethers and of course Bennett is always welcome with us (I'm sure when he gets a little older he will insist on going with the boys). Nat and I both craved Big Blue Bagel so we made sure to eat lunch there (o so yummy). it looks like he's waving hello!

We enjoyed strolling the stores in downtown Auburn, not really buying anything, just browsing and reminiscing about being in AU for 4 years and missing it! All 4 of us and B-man stayed at a hotel and had a yummy buffet breakfast Saturday morning, before Natalie, Bennett, and I had to say bye and headed to Birmingham (might i mention how wonderful the weather was when we woke up Saturday morning!! too bad i didn't bring a jacket, but it was nice and chilly). (and might i also say how sad it was the Bennett was sick all weekend, and continues to be, throwing up almost everything he eats... we hope he feels better soon!)

Natalie was going to B'ham to visit friends, and Ben had spent the night there at Garrett's house and hung out with the boys. I hopped from Nat's car over to Ben's and Ben and I immediately headed to Tuscaloosa. We were pretty much in town JUST for the game... watched the Ole Miss vs. Bama game... had a good time... and then fought the traffic out of town.

Since our hunting camp is only an hour south of Tuscaloosa, we decided to stop there to spend the night. Stephen was there by himself, so we watched football with him Saturday night, ate Church's Chicken for dinner (the only place to get food at 8PM on a Saturday night in the tiny town of Linden) and spent the night. Sunday morning we had breakfast with Stephen and then headed out on the Bad Boy Buggy for a ride in the woods. We went down a "path" that had not been ridden on in over a year and was grown up with trees over the road... but with the boys I was with, we ran over tress, muscled trees out of the way, and carved our own path through the woods. it was a typical boy thing, but i have to say I quite enjoyed it!!!

this is what our bad boy buggy looks like, and is capable of, but NO this isn't us, just a funny pic i found on the Internet

Another fun weekend in our lives. As much as I would love to just stay home on the weekends and get some work done at the house (cleaning out closets, unpacking the last 2 boxes that haven't been touched in the year we have been in our house, and sort through purses and shoes and clothes that need to be donated to goodwill)... I have to admit that we enjoy our traveling weekends, which we will have many more of this fall, constantly being out of town!!!
