Michael and Angie traveled back to the USA December 1-8, 2006 to spend some much-needed time with family and friends! We enjoyed the first few days of our trip in Tennessee visiting with Angie's parents, Russ and Virginia. While in Birmingham, we relaxed at the Ross Bridge Resort, got our 'sushi fix' at Surin (twice!), and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Standard Bistro with Jochen & Birgit among many other things. Thanks SO MUCH to Holly/David, Cathy, Joy, & Robin/Frank who joined us at Ross Bridge to catch up and share some laughs! We spent the last night of our vacation in Atlanta, sharing a fabulous evening and view of the city at the revolving Sundial resturant atop the Westin Hotel. Just before we flew back to Stuttgart on Friday, we toured the new Georgia Aquarium a few blocks from the Westin in Atlanta. Amazing... a must see!
