A week after I arrived back the the U.S. I hopped back on a plane for a much shorter trip to G.A. to see Mom and Dad H ( Anne and Lee Higgins) in Duluth. I stayed in Ga. for a month and we had so much fun together. I will hit a few of the big activities in their own blogs, but here is a list of some of the great times we had!

Ok, so I am back tracking big time, but I will catch up :-) Soon after arriving in Md, the fam traveled to Philadelphia, PA for a wedding of my second cousin Frances and her husband Noah. They met on an airplane, and fell in love soon after. Awesome love story, and I wish them the best of luck in their marriage :-) It was a great time and I very much enjoyed seeing family I haven't seen since going to Okinawa. While I was in Philly I was able to meet up with K.C., a friend of mine from Nantucket. She is an amazing person and friend and it was awesome seeing her! One evening, a bunch of the family got together to go into downtown Philadelphia and had dinner on South Street. My Uncle John had a GPS in his rental car I named Murphy. We had some issues, but Murphy got us to where we needed to go :-) It was a great trip, but I missed Charles the whole time. Above are a few pics of the wedding and good times with the family and friends!
