We did so many fun things while they were here. We ate at some of our favorite local southern spots, went to the movies and saw Wolverine, went for morning runs, went shopping in Fairhope at the boutiques tasting every flavor olive oil and vinegar there is, fishing, delta airboat ride, tour of the USS Alabama Battleship, and spent a full day in Gulf Shores at the beach and farmer's market. We were sad for Van and Susan to leave but are trying to plan a trip for us to see then around Christmas time!

With the Winberg Family
With my biggest cheerleader! I would not have made it through without him!
My Graduating Class of Accelerated BSN students! Many long days and nights spent with these friends! So happy we all graduated together! I'm really going to miss seeing some of them every day!

Eric and I on our very early morning delta airboat tour!
Susan and Van on the tour! Wind blown and all!
One of the many alligators we spotted on the tour! This was a 10 footer. We got a very detailed education on alligators and birds in the delta! It was awesome!
The view on the way back to the dock. Not a bad way to start the morning.
On the tip top of the Battleship. By this point I think we were all melting it was so hot and humid that day, and we had just climbed what seemed to be 40 flights of stairs
, and Susan had bonked her head on a tiny metal doorway, but we all have our smiles on.

The men fishing off the pier in Fairhope. We got caught in a bad thunderstorm and got drenched, but we had a fun night drying off eating pizza and watching movies.
We already miss mama Susan and Papa Van!!!!! Hope we see you soon!
