Big Canoe Thanksgiving Trip

We spent Thanksgiving in Georgia this year.  We drove out there last Saturday and after some traffic issues (U of Alabama game traffic - dislike!!) we rolled into the folks place at 11:30 ish.

On Sunday, we met some of our favorite people for lunch.  The kids got to hang out with their oldest friends (love you Ross boys) and I got to catch up with two of my best friends!

Later that afternoon we took the boys to see the Falcons play the Titans at the Dome.  We had great seats and it was a fun game.  Much better than freezing your tush off at Fulton County Stadium but I digress.

On  Monday, Mr. T, the boys, and I headed up to Big Canoe.  We rented a house close to the golf course and it was AMAZING (http://www.vrbo.com/318013).  We highly recommend it if you are ever in the area.  My parents, sister and her kids joined us on Tuesday and the fun continued!

We hiked.  We ate.  Mr. T and GT golfed.  We hot tubbed.  We ate some more.  We walked up a bunch of stairs at Amicalola Falls and then had a yummy lunch in Dahlonega.  We had fabulous margaritas from my new Margaritaville Margarita machine (thanks Mr. T).  It was so wonderful!!!

On Friday, we hugged and kissed everyone good-bye (lots of tears shed on my part) and headed home.  The ride home was smooth and uneventful!  Even though we planned on stopping somewhere along the way, we decided to push through and boy were we happy to sleep in our own bed.

Here are some picture highlights - enjoy!

Welcome Wonderful Weekend

And it promises to be a busy one!  Mr. T and GT are headed to Michigan for Great Grandpa Roger's 85th birthday celebration.  Since B Man and Magoo have a baseball tournament we are unable to go.

I am excited for the eldest to have a bonding weekend with his dad.  I am however jealous that the temps up there are going to be in the 70's to low 80's during the day and may get down into the 50 's (!!!!!!!) at night.  My jealousy level may increase with the temps here - especially during the 2:00 game tomorrow :).

I am hoping to dust off the camera and get some pics of the boys in action.  Stay tuned...
