Our first stop was New York. We stayed with Colin's high school friend, Winston, and his wife Corinna. We love them and catching up in person was great. While in New York we wandered through Central park, relaxed in the grass, and had some authentic New York bagels. We also got to see some sigma chis and Brittany. We left New York feeling blessed to have interesting friends who are genuinely nice people, and to have the flexibility to see them!
After New York drove past DC, all the way to South Carolina. We stayed just outside Charleston with my cousin, Cruz, his wife Naomi, and their baby boy Oliver. Cruz's brothers Will and Jonathon also live in the area and we were able to spend time with all of them. Will, Cruz and Jonathon are cousins on my dad's side of the family. The Krafsig boys treated us to some delicious southern food, Cruz played the piano for us, and Naomi charmed us. I did not spend much time with Will, Cruz or Jonathon growing up and it was special to reconnect as adults.
We continued south after South Carolina to Palm Harbor, Florida. Who do we know in Florida? Colin's good friend from Plano, Texas, Timur. Whenever Colin and Timur get together a memory reel of the good ol' days growing up in Plano plays and I love hearing their stories. Colin grew up with a very close knit group of friends and I love seeing the friendships that have carried into adulthood.
Timur was also nice enough to let us park our car in his apartment building while we took a brief detour on our road trip to Brazil for the World Cup! Read all about it in the next blog post.
