A Trip South

After several failed attempts, we finally planned and executed a trip to Atlanta to see our good friends the Judds. Erin and their oldest son Anderson were born exactly 2 months apart and were best friends from the beginning. They moved down to GA a year and a half ago and although they have been able to visit us here in VA, we had not made it down to visit them. So we finally conquered it and it was such a good time. We left on Easter afternoon and stopped for the night in Raleigh with our good friends the Williams. They always open their home to us, even on holidays. The next morning we loaded the girls back up and treked over to Charlotte. Megan got to meet G.G., PawPaw and Aunt Carolyn for the first time. After a visit and lunch, we got back in the car and headed for Georgia. We arrived at the Judds about 5:00 and then met Dr. King for dinner at Outback. Again, a new face for Megan to meet.

On Tuesday we spent the whole day with the Judds. Erin and Anderson played outside for hours together and I could tell she was just in heaven. Carter and Anna came and went inside and out and also had a great time being together. On Wednesday, Joe took the big kids to Fernwood museum, the GT baseball fields, the Varsity for lunch and then we all met up at Stone Mountain.

After a tragic hour of losing Anna's beloved bunny, all was well for the laser light show when a super nice Ms. Gina found the missing bunny. We could all relax and enjoy the show.

On Thursday we had planned to head back throughout the day, but since Megan made it quite clear she prefered to not be in the truck, we delayed our departure until late afternoon. We were thrilled to be able to hook up with our friends the Andrews that we knew from our time in Ft. Myers. They're the kind of people that it doesn't matter when you last saw them, you always pick up right where you left off. We spent the afternoon with them and then hit the road and arrived home at 2 a.m.

We couldn't have enjoyed our Spring Break more. Erin said within 4 hours of leaving Anderson that she already missed him. We're so thankful for our friends the Judds and the time we got to share with them.
