Summer Vacation: Day Three!

Today was MUCH better than yesterday! We left Birmingham, AL around 10:00 and started our 2.5 drive to Columbus, GA to join several family members and my brother Josh for family day. 

The drive was very pretty. We loved all the trees and rolling hills. We came upon Auburn, AL around 11:30 and I was in need of coffee. My gas station cup was a major letdown. I tried really hard to enjoy it, but I couldn't do it. I looked up a Starbucks and found one fairly close to our route. Friends...I took us to Starbucks...at Auburn University...on move in weekend! Oops!! But the campus is gorgeous and while trying to get our mini van off campus as fast as possible, we caught a glimpse of the stadium. Wow. So cool! 

While (accidently) driving to Auburn U, we passed a Target. Sometimes Target has a Starbucks and Daniel suggested we check. I ensured him the one I looked up was the closest and well, you know where we ended up. After turning around, we went back to Target to grab a few things and while I fed Charlie in the van, I received this photo: 


Yep...SB at the Target I was adament did  NOT have one. Oops...

We drove another 45 min to Columbus, GA and met up with my brother and the other family/friends who came as well. My brother looked GREAT! He ended up losing 50 lbs during his time at Basic! We chatted awhile and he showed Aiden the correct way to do a military push up: 


And we went bowling, Aiden is a very good bowler! 


And of course took lots of pictures with Josh. 


(Again, this is a cheesy smile, not a look of pain!)

We ate pizza for supper and returned to the hotel for more visiting and swimming! A VERY fun day indeed!
