GEORGIA

Last week we went on vacation for the first time since August 2009. We went down to a small town called Lyons, Georgia to visit Gregg's family. It was very nerve wrecking to me because it was the first time I was meeting the family. Although I had taked to his mother all the time on the phone all the time, and also his sisters, it was just meeting them face to face. We decided to drive down there, which was very interesting. It was an 8 hour drive from Virginia to Georgia. We got there at about 345 in the morning so we just called it a night because we were so tired. The next morning we went to his mother's house and met her and then his step-father came home for lunch and I met him too. They were so excited to see us, especially Gabba. It was really kind of great that Gabba was a part of this becasue it took a lot of the attention off of me..LOL! His parents absolutely loved Gabba and just kept talking about how tiny she was. After a little while his younger sibilings came home from school and I got to meet them too. That day we just relaxed at the house. Over the next few days we met a lot of people. They were so great, and so hilarious. While we were there we did a lot of site seeing. We went to Savannah, Georgia (an hour away) to go shopping in the mall because that was the closest mall and we aso went to Tybee island. We had such a great time. We went there to visit his sister who goes to college there.

      Greggs family is big on cooking and get togethers. His mothers house is the "hang-out" spot of the neighborhood. One night his mother cooked, another night they had a BBQ, and another a fish fry! It was really exciting. I had so much fun meeting everyone and just relaxing and having a good time.

     I took so many pictures while I was down there. LOL I am a picture-a-holic.

    It was really hard to leave because we were having such a great time. It was sad because we don't really know when the next time we will be able to see them is. On the way home we stopped at this place called SAVANNAH SWEETS in the mall. They had all kinds of sweets and i wanted to get some to take home. Then we were back on the road and on our wake back.
