Catching Up with Family

July 2-4, 2010. Family Visits. From St. Augustine we headed north for our longest day on the road, something like nine hours. We headed up to Locust Grove, Georgia, just south of Atlanta to stop and visit my cousin, who also happens to be my Godmother. All of her children and grandchildren live within a two mile radius, and they were all there to greet us. We felt like Young Life kids getting off the bus at camp, with the whole crowd greeting us and taking pictures as we got off our "bus." They have a pool and a trampoline so the kids had a blast with the grandkids. And the adults had a wonderful time catching up and getting to know each other. I hadn't seem a couple of them in ten years or more. They are all Christians and just a wonderful family.......... The next morning we headed to Oxford, Alabama just a couple of hours away to visit my grandfather and my Uncle Mike. The highlight there was our very own fireworks show in the front yard last night. It was great to see them, and always a bit sad because our visits are so far and few between.
