Vacation - Atlanta

Okay, so now that we're back from vacation, I can spend a quick few minutes to recount our time away from home. We left after I got off work and spent the night in Valdosta. That was a great idea and is something I will do from this point forward. It allowed us to break up the eight hour drive to Atlanta and made the four hour trip from Valdosta much more palatable.

Our first stop was to visit Dawn, Dea's sister, and her family. The kids got a lot of time to spend together, having fun jumping on the trampoline in the backyard. Gabe played catch with his Uncle Patrick and we were later joined by Dea's parents at Dawn's house for dinner.

After dinner, we said our goodbyes and drove over to my niece Katie's house to spend the night with Katie and her family (Brian and the kids). It was a nice time with family and allowed Dea and I to unwind and put aside all of the daily worries that we left back in Safety Harbor.

Dea prefers this pose for all future pictures.
