We flew down to Mobile in June to see Leona (about two months old) for the first time and to have a wonderful repeat visit with Nic, Alison, and Felix (now two years old)

   

  

One day we went to Dragon Boat Races alongside the USS Alabama Battleship.

We stayed at a friend’s house in Mobile and particularly enjoyed the live oaks along the streets.

  

And playgrounds and breweries…

And a beautiful botanical garden.
