This famous line holds some basic truth, as Lia's story actually begins in Alabama (strictly speaking). She's an "all American girl" whose roots reach way down south. Sixteen months after our first stay in Alabama we drove south again for a visit that wasn't less exciting.We spent an adventurous weekend with our friends Gerardo and Gaby and their two beautiful daughters Nicole and Valerie, a weekend whose highlight was an unforgettable boat trip on Lake Tuscaloosa.
Lia was tense and excited at the beginning of our trip, but curiosity prevailed over fear. And when sunny skies were unexpectedly overcast by dark clouds that quickly turned into a big storm, Lia simply braved the elements by falling asleep. While everyone else got wet to the bones, our baby was savely wrapped in a life jacket, a blanket, and a big towel and held tight by her Daddy. Not even her nose was showing. The unabatedly heavy downpour was a bit scary, but Gerardo did a great job navigating the boat in this rough weather and getting us savely to the shore. Driving down all the way to Alabama to spend time with the Archundia family is always worth every mile.

oh wie aufregend, eine Bootstour mit Gewitter und Sturm, liebe Lia, Du erlebst ganz schön was in Deinem zarten Alter.
Gibt es jetzt ein Geschwisterchen ;-)....? LG, Tante Su
ja, lia? wie sieht es aus mit dem Geschwisterchen? Frag' mal Deine Eltern! Naja, aber vielleicht fährt man lieber noch ein drittes, viertes oder fünftes Mal, denn es scheint ja wirklich sehr schön zu sein, da unten in "Sweet Home Alabama", so dass man auch ohne Familienplanung im Sinn viel, viel Spaß macht. Trotz Sturm. ;-)
