While Austin headed up north to see family, I finished up writing my dissertation and then headed to St. George island for the weekend with lab friends. Nice weather and a good way to relax and finish up my tan for this year :) A big thanks to Georgia for letting us stay at her family's beach house!
Our lovely beach spot :)
Over my birthday weekend, one of my Serbian friends just happened to be in the neighborhood and he stayed at our place for a couple of days before heading back to Europe after his epic summer in the Northeast. We enjoyed the GNV sights (including a very important trip to Wal-Mart) and spent my actual birthday tubing at Ginnie Springs :)
Exploring the flora of northern Florida :)

A perfect day for tubing and swimming :D
We found an abandoned disposable underwater camera. I sent him the photos after snapping this one on my phone of us :)

After a busy weekend hosting family and defending my dissertation, I had some additional celebrations with my lab mates before heading off on a celebratory epic road trip. We enjoyed some drinks downtown and also played some intense board games at home. What a month it's been!

Autumn has finally come to GNV and we are enjoying the cool sunny days as we get closer to heading up north for Christmas. Hopefully more updates to come as I get closer and closer to having my Ph.D. in hand :)
