Lake House

A few weekends ago we made a trip back home to see Josh's family in Crestview and to visit his parents new lake house in Alabama. We had a great time traveling with Josh's sister Caitlin and her boyfriend Mike, and of course Darby was along for the ride too.

On Saturday morning we had some time to visit with Josh's Nana at her live-in rehab facility. She was doing very well. She was so excited to meet her great-grand pup and he definitely liked her too. We had a nice visit and relaxed in the courtyard. Her facility is very nice and you can tell they take good care of her there. After visiting with Nana we went to see Josh's Mamaw. She's doing great as usual and even admitted to recently getting on her bushhog to take care of the yard. We don't think she'll ever give it up, even at 90.

Finally it was on to the lake house. The property is in Andalusia, AL about an hour north of Crestview. It was a pretty quick trip up although there is pretty much nothing between the two cities. The house was great. Very big with lots of bedrooms and a nice kitchen. The best part is the beautiful view of the lake. They have a wonderful outdoor area with a nice dock and boat lift. At the time they didn't have their boat yet but they do now so next time we'll be able to do some fishing and cruise around on the water. For dinner we ate at this place called the Catfish House. We were celebrating Dad Highlander's 62nd birthday. I was the only that didn't have something fried (not much else on the menu) but for some reason I was craving a salad. Probably not the best place to get one, but oh well. The baby wanted some veggies! The food was delicious, especially the cheese grits - definitely my favorite!

Sunday we just relaxed, had a big Sunday breakfast and took a quick drive downtown before we headed back to Crestview and then back on the road to Gainesville. It's a beautiful place and we're very excited for Josh's parents.

Here are some more pictures from the trip...
