Athens & Jacksonville

Summer has come and gone but I still have a couple posts to write about on some of our big highlights. We started this summer off with a bang by dropping the kids off in Athens right after school. Harrison drove up with Robert while Brooks and I flew. It was her very first flight so that was a highlight all in itself. Robert and I immediately flew out to Vegas for a work related trip but also for some fun. And after that, we took an amazing adventure out to Sonoma, California for my 40th birthday with 3 other couples that we love. This trip deserves a post all on it's own but let me just say, it was incredible. And after our 4 night stay in California, we headed back to Athens for the week to be with the kids and also so Robert could play in the Member/Guest tournament with his dad. While we were there, Harrison got to be in a baseball camp at the University and Brooks went to a camp at the Academy. It was a great time! After Athens, our original plan was to head right back to Naples but we found out that my mom would be going through chemo again since her leukemia came back. This was not the kind of news we wanted to hear but I wanted to be with her so Robert dropped me and the kids off in Jacksonville and we stayed with Carter, Leigh, James and Christine. We made the most of the trip with fun sleepovers and tennis camp and I was able to send a lot of time in the hospital with my mom. Brooks also had another first when she lost her tooth on our first night in Jacksonville. There was a lot crammed into our first 3 weeks of summer and we have great memories of it all!
