Snapshots from our trip to the States

We spent 7 weeks during November and December in the USA. The first week, we were in Atlanta where Nick gave a lecture at Emory and imaged cuneiform tablets. His research portion of the trip made the entire visit possible. The rest of the time was split between family and friends with an additional week in Santa Rosa Beach, FL.

Yummy meal at Shaggy's.

We didn't plan this outing to the beach in Gulfport very well. The boys had no change of clothes, and we had only one towel. BUT, they had so much fun.

Love these boys!

The beach is one of our favorite places.
