A mini-vacation

To celebrate our anniversary, Alan and I took the kids to Franklin and then left them! We left the kids with Mema and Grandpa Tom and headed to Syracuse, our old stomping grounds. It was fun. The weather was crazy, of course, but we got a nice break of sunshine for a few hours for us to explore the campus. Syracuse University is a mass of old and new buildings all mixed together. It was fun. Then we hit the mall and after an hour or so we decided that was enough mall for us for the next few years :) It was great. Rumor has it the kids and grandparents had fun too. Yay! Here are a few pictures…

Bye bye kids
