We left Shreveport around 8:30 and made it into Mobile about 3 pm. And yes, that Prius really did have some giddy-up. And the one thing everyone agreed on upon our arrival – my beard was totally awesome. That meant a lot to me. Some even said I looked like Sean Connery when he grew out his beard, or even the latest version of Joaquin Phoenix (check here).
Anyway, we had a nice gathering of Kanes and McCarrons there, even Mommaw made the trip over! Here’s Michele with our (second?) cousin Jack. I think Jack was showing her how to set up an Excel spreadsheet where the cells’ data would all be in sync with the click of a button…
And here I am with Lauren and Emily…
I got Michele an Alabama-themed Snuggie as one of her Christmas gifts. But guessed who called first dibs…
We played a mean game of “Apples to Apples” on Friday, which was won barely by Michele. Side note: this is a super fun game.
On Saturday night, we met up with a bunch of friends at Callahan’s. It was packed out and we ended up hanging outside on the patio area. What’s funny is that everyone was freezing out there – except us. It was pretty comfortable by our standards. Here’s Michele and Blakely…
And yes, even my dad made it out for a few hours. Michele and I must be pretty big deals, if you know what I mean. Here we are with him outside the bar…
And here’s my mom and Emily posing for a photo. Believe it or not, my mom actually took Emily, James, Michele, and me to the Waffle House late night!
My mom took some more pictures while we are in town, so I may add a few more once she gets them uploaded.
Hope everyone has a great New Year’s Eve!!!
