The Places and People We Love

One beautiful thing about visiting our hometown is the fact that we get to visit ALL of our friends and family while we are down.

Alan and Anthony have been best friends for....well, years and years. They are the closest thing either one has to a brother and although they only see each other a couple of times a year, whenever they do get together, they pick right up where they left off. Anthony is married to Anna, and they are expecting a little girl Kidd around the same time as Silas' first birthday! Of course, we already have not-so-secret plans for an arranged married for the two kids, but don't tell them :)

Uncle Anthony and Silas

Lucy is (like) my (our) little sister. She was in the youth group at the church where Alan and I both worked. When we moved away, she kept in touch and has visited multiple times--including when Silas was born. We love this girl to pieces--and always make sure to visit with her while we are in town.

Aunt Lucy

The Tin Top is located in Bon Secour, AL and is one of our FAVORITE places to eat. Ever. The food is divine, the service is great, and the ambiance is so relaxing. It is owned by some dear friends of my father, so we always make at least one--if not more than one--trip to eat there while we are down. Bob and Patty (the owners) are amazing and below is a picture of us at the restaurant. Oh, and they have a new restaurant open in Tuscaloosa. You should visit if you are in the area!

Finally, I've got a picture of me and Silas in Cracker Barrel. When we travel, we hate eating fast food. It just makes us feel gross. So sometimes, we stop at Cracker Barrel to get food that's a little less gross and gives Silas a chance to get out of his carseat.
