We're back! On a whim, Team Antonson decided to escape from the 'Semana Santa' crowd in Nosara (the busiest week in town- we are the destination for both spring breaker's of the US as well as the entire country of Costa Rica!) to visit Erik's sister, mom, and step dad.
The trip began in Atlanta, where we were greeted by Gramma Kelly and Grandpa Bob. Thank goodness they brought us fleeces to borrow because we may have frozen in place outside the airport doors before getting to the car- it would have been a very short trip! Here is a little video of Kemper thanking her feet for getting her through the airport...
We indulged in March Madness and grandparent time for our first two nights while in Thomson GA, just outside Augusta. On Friday we hopped in the car with GmK (Gramma Kelly) heading to Charleston SC, where we met Aunt Amy (Erik's sister).
Out on the town Friday night with Boo, Amy, Amelia, Rhett, Erik, Katherine, and Sarah (L-R)...
Erik's sister, whom we know as Amy, is known in her circle of friends and colleagues as Adrienne. Amy is an extremely talented artist- the main purpose of our trip was to attend a fashion show that she had coordinated. Amy's event hosted several stores and private designers, all of whom had runway models to show off their wares. The headliner, of course, was Amy's company, Spinster.
The show was held in a large store location on King Street. The had hoped to draw ~300 people to the event....they ended up turning away over 100 people! They ran out of space! The event was a huge success- and a lot of fun for everyone who attended. I don't know if we enjoyed the deejay's, the models, the drinks, the tap dancing half time show, or the videos on the walls more! We are so proud of Amy. Here is a link to a video of Amy's portion of the event (the highlight!)- Amy's company is Spinster- she designed the clothes and brought in a professional to train her models. They did a fantastic job (very sexy!)

Kemper sported a spikey mohawk for the fashion show. She was a big hit!
Katherine (Erik's neighbor growing up), and GmK- all dolled up for the event. Miss Lucansky also drove up from Gainesville to see the show!
A view of the event from the VIP section...
We stayed in Charleston until Easter Sunday- and the Easter bunny found Kemper in our hotel (thanks GmK!!). Kemper had a blast finding all of the eggs. By noon we were on the road, returning to Georgia. For the next few days, we relaxed, acted as consumers, and soaked up precious family time. We love you all, and are looking forward to our next trip back to see you again.
Kemper enjoying a 'real playground' in Thomson...
It didn't take her long to desire the 'big slide'! Our child is fearless- which fills us with fear...
Some of Bob's pretty posies
Kemper is 'certified organic'
On the drive to the Atlanta airport, the outside temperature clocked in at 33 degrees F.....
...coming back to Nosara we were blasted with a heat of 37 degree C (upper 90's).
Whew! Talk about a climate change. We cherished the time we were able to cuddle under a down blanket together in Georgia....but after a week of being back in steamy CR, our bodies have readjusted to the heat.
