Get Out of Town!


We managed to get out of town for the weekend to Oxford to visit Olivia's family (all of Lauchlin's family had abandoned Oxford) and enjoy some R & R. While the weather was less than desirable, we enjoyed exploring God's country for a little while. Here's a taste of the fun...
We had a couple of pints at the newly renovated (the very young bartender told us it happened a year and a half ago) Proud Larry's:

We ate at our very favorite restaurant, Ajax, with Olivia's parents:


After dinner, we decided to have a drink at Jubilee (a bar we frequented back in our college days) on its last night before it changed ownership. It could have easily been an episode of "This is Your Life." All day we felt like we didn't know anyone in town anymore. And, then, bam!
We ran into Corinne, a childhood friend of Lauchlin's from Clinton:

We, then, saw Julia, a childhood friend of Olivia's:

Later, Caroline (and her adorable baby bump) showed up. Her sister, Missy, was there too:

Caroline's husband, Lance, was there for the surprise reunion. His twin brother, Kevin, was the photographer. Vici, their sister, was not in attendance, unfortunately.

Balancing out the Green Family, though, was Chris, Caroline's brother:

And, perhaps the most random of happenings was running into Sam Knowlton, aka Superman Sam. He used to be a reporter at The Vicksburg Post with Lauchlin. He's now in law school at Ole Miss:

And, as if that weren't enough excitement...

Olivia found this wonderful prop at the bar. It serves as the perfect ending to today's post!
