Grace was unable to make the trip back to Michigan because of work. It was still nice to spend some time with my parents, who also came up to visit camp on Friday. They’ve always been very supportive of my involvement in SJC and for that, I can’t thank them enough. On Sunday, I finally got to see Nick and Melanie, who I missed on our last trip home. Thanks to them for brunch at Beverly Hills Grill and also to Nick for getting me a Tigers hat, which I’ve wanted for a while. We went to their home in Birmingham, whose days are numbered as they are about to begin a tear-down. Nick and I stopped by Christine and Charlie’s house, which is just around the corner. Christine was hard at work in the garden and Charlie was having lunch with the girls (Hannah, Sarah, and Claire) – I haven’t seen them all since the wedding.
