Weekend Visit

Alexis' first cousin Aliza made her first trip to the Deep South to meet her new cousin Henry and the two really hit it off. In fact, Henry already misses her playing with his feet while he rides in his car seat.

Aliza took in all the sites, including Elvis' birthplace. (Yep, that's not a Katrina cottage...it's actually Elvis' first house. Don't worry though, the gift shop is much bigger.)

We also spent some time in Oxford where Henry sported his new bib...thanks Gran Gran.

After Julep had an entertaining morning watching bison walk across the TV screen, we decided to go for a walk with Henry and take in some culture...

...so we strolled over to ol' Bill Faulkner's house and hung out there for a while. Then we went to enjoy culture of a different sort...

Believe it or not, there are no Sonics in New Jersey, or anywhere else in the north for that matter. But there are Sonic commercials. So Aliza was very excited to actually see a Sonic for the first time ever. This is one of about six pictures commemorating that event. Here, we attempt to engage in some witty dialogue about the Sonic breakfast menu (served all day!) before the narrator interrupts us to give more details.
