This week Jim and I have had a great time hanging out in Georgia with friends and family! We got into Marietta Saturday night after saying goodbye to my parents & grandmother in Panama City. It didn't take long for the adventures to begin though...I started noticing sparks followed by flying black chunks coming from the U-Haul trailer and sure enough, one of the tires had blown while Jim was driving. Thankfully, we were able to pull off at an exit and we were only about 45 minutes away from Jim's Mom's house - our destination. It was late at night, so Jim sent me home with the pups while he waited for the repair. All went well though and we all made it to Marietta safe and sound!
Sunday and Monday we got to visit with Jim's sister Kate & her husband Tate in their town of Dalton. They cooked Thai food for us (their specialty, so good!) and we went to a little festival downtown. They have three dogs of their own, so it was quite the zoo at their house with our two added! One of their dogs, Beans, is Izzy's long lost twin, so it's fun to watch them play together!

Over the next few days, we visited some friends (and saw their new little ones!) and had a beverage day of tours at the World of Coca Cola and Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta. We had to get our Sweetwater fill before we make it to Virginia since they don't sell it there! We also hiked Kennesaw Mountain, which is a historic little spot that was the site of a Civil War battle and is conveniently located right behind Mom's house! Izzy was already a pro at the Kennesaw Mountain hike, but we took Addy this time, and he had a great time too. I think Jim underestimates his athletic ability :)

Today we set off for Virginia and made it to Durham, North Carolina before stopping at a hotel for the night. We want to be all rested up and ready to start settling in when we arrive in Portsmouth tomorrow! As of tomorrow I will be a Virginia resident!
Wish I had known you were stopping in Durham! You could have stayed with us! Let me know if you make it down this way again!
ReplyDeleteI told Beans that she is an international celebrity now that she has been featured on your blog...she seemed to think that her awesomeness is old news. Thank you guys for stopping by to see us and I hope you are settling into the new home!
