Savannah

This past weekend we flew down to Savannah to visit our friends the Wallers and so Alex could speak to the youth at Independent Presbyterian Church during Sunday School. We enjoyed warm weather, a carriage ride tour of the city, a boat ride, a day at the beach, lots of good food, meeting new friends, resting, laughing, smelling the ocean, reliving childhood memories, and being away from reality for a few days. All in all it was a great trip! Here are just a few pictures from our little Southern adventure.

Branson

Two weeks ago my parents went to spend sometime down in Branson. They were staying in a lovely log cabin/lodge type timeshare and invited us to come down and spend a few days with them. So, we packed our bags, rented a car, and drove the 4 hours to Branson. We were only there for a day and a bit but we enjoyed the time away. We saw the dam at Table Rock Lake, a riverboat where you can go on a dinner cruise and be entertained by a dog show (!?) and Alex enjoyed eating steak three meals in a row!
