The Hamberlins: Father's Day Weekend 2009

For Father's Day we decided to go to Mississippi and spend the weekend with Lawrence's Dad. It was a good weekend to go because Jackson was having their music festival that weekend, Jubilee Jam, and Blue Mountain was playing on Saturday. Not only do we like Blue Mountain's music, but their last CD was produced/engineered/mixed by Lawrence's Brother-in-Law, Stuart Sikes. The weekend was good. We arrived at Mr. Hamberlin's house late Friday night like always. Saturday we watched some of the US Open, rode around in the golf cart, and then we headed dowtown to see Blue Mountain. They put on a great show, and we had fun even though it was HOT!!! Luckily there were misting fans located throughout the area, so we would cool off with those...Claudia loved running through them! After Blue Mountain finished performing we headed to another stage and watched Joan Jett for about 30 minutes...we had dinner plans at Lawrence's cousin's house, so we had to leave the show early. Claudia loves music, so she enjoyed the Jubilee Jam. It is funny to me that my 2 and a half year old has seen Joan Jett in concert...who would have thought she would still be around after all these years!! Dinner at Laurie's house was great, and it was great to see some of that side of the family. Father's Day Sunday was great...we played in the sprinkler and cooked dinner that night for Mr. Hamberlin...steak, baked potatoes, salad, and corn on the cobb. We watched more of the US Open, rode around in the gold cart some more, and Lawrence and his Dad went and hit golf balls. We had already planned to stay through Monday so we could watch the whole US Open with Mr. Hamberlin before the rain delays and all occurred...luckily the tournament ended by noon on Monday, so we packed up and headed back to Auburn. All and all the weekend was good. Claudia loves going to Papa's house!! The only thing I hate, is that we didn't take any pictures of Claudia, Lawrence, and Mr. Hamberlin together...we will have to be sure to do that on our next trip.
