Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas

On Saturday morning we loaded up the Baron with just about everything we own and headed to Florida to Grandma and Grandpa's house. As usual, the gals settled in quickly and relaxed while we flew across the countryside, eventually napping just before we stopped in Mobile, Alabama for lunch. We met with CK's friend Jan for lunch as she was visiting her Mom from Washington DC. Jan was one of CK's first friends I met when we started dating and I've always thought she was one of the kindest, warmest ladies I've met. It was great to catch up and hear how she's doing and hope it won't be another few years before we see each other again.

We arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's and Sofia couldn't be more excited to be there and see her Grandparents! We settled in while the girls played in the house and caught up with Grandma and Grandpa.

The next day, after Meeting, we headed into town for lunch and then went to see the train exhibit at the community college, which we did two years ago. I was surprised Sofia didn't remember our prior visit and she was completely enthralled all over again. It was fun walking around seeing the intricate set up and watching the trains and I love that Sofia is still into it all even though she may not play with her trains much at home. Olivia also loved it, although I think because it moved so quickly! She kept pointing and saying "See it?" and then would look at her Grandpa or whoever was holding her. It was really a lot of fun!
