Traveling Stringfellows

The past 2 weekends, we have traveled - once with Elaina and once without. Two weekends ago, we traveled to Aiken, SC to visit our friends Russ and Jenn. They used to live in Knoxville but moved to Aiken due to their jobs - we miss them terribly. They got married a year ago and are expecting thier first child in March. We are so excited for them. The weekend consisted of eating, relaxing, swimming, relaxing, eating, relaxing, eating, relaxing, and did I say eating??? Holy cow, did we eat well while we were down there. This was our kind of weekend - no agenda, just visiting with friends and enjoying company. They have a pool so Elaina was thoroughly entertained (and tired each night so she slept pretty well). Sadly, I don't have any pics of Russ and Jenn - what?? I am not sure what I was thinking. Here are some shots of Elaina enjoying their pool....



This picture was taken just seconds before she fell back into the pool and bruised her leg hitting it on the ladder. She was fine but she cried for a bit.

She tried out the diving board.... she would let you drop her down into the water. She loved it.
They have a squirrel who quinches his thirst in their pool - look at that stance. I can't believe he does not slip in.

Elaina has become quite the traveler.... she's a good traveler. Here she is cheesing in the back seat on the way to Aiken



During the final 30 minutes of the car ride home, I had to climb in the back seat to do some entertaining. It happened to be with stickers - Elaina covered her face.

Then mine... :)

Our second trip was to South Bend, Indiana to see Erik's favorite team in the whole planet play their season opener. Notre Dame... stay tuned for pics from that adventure.
