Uncle Wes and Aunt Judi’s in Peachtree City, Georgia

Our trip to Georgia was pretty much uneventful. We stopped and bought some cracklins (if you don’t know, don’t ask) and Tony demonstrated that he had learned much from his deer avoidance lessons. About 10 minutes from Wes’s place a nice buck jumped our in front of us on its way home from the local pub we guess as it really wasn’t paying much attention to the fact that we were gong to run over it. Tony immediately applied the brakes, while simultaneously swerving! Adam was so happy, but also a bit disappointed, he was hoping Tony might just clip him a little bit so we could have some venison!

At Wes and Judi’s we got to see Dawn and Rod and their kids, Ansley and Beck, and Kari and John and their kids Dylan, Devon and Michael. It had been quite some time since Adam had seen his cousins. We did see them 4 years ago but that ended up being a short visit, so this was great! At Kari and John’s we stayed up catching up and laughing while we finished off a magnum of wine.

Kari and John’s house is amazing! It is three levels – the upstairs living areas and a full basement that they have finished into a tv/play room, kitchenette and two bedrooms. The main level has a den, living room, huge eat-in kitchen, laundry, formal dining room and bathroom. Upstairs is the master bedroom suite, and the three bedrooms for the kids and bathrooms. Tony and Adam stayed in the basement bedroom with our own private bath! Sweet – especially after coming from South Carolina where we shared the room and bathroom with Adam’s folks.

In the morning we worked our way over to Wes and Judi’s place where we had some errands to run. We stopped by to see their RV, that we had not seen yet. The pictures below are from inside their RV!!!! Can you believe that!

Can you believe their RV? It's HUGE!

After the RV we drove past Kari’s new job and hit a Target for some new jeans for Adam and some joint toiletries. Then we all went back to Kari’s for some more visiting. Kari was supposed to be flying off on Monday to Austin but was fighting an ear infection.

On our way back to Wes and Judi’s, we stopped to pick up a wrist brace for Wes as his wrist was swollen and bothering him. Getting back into the car we passed a Chick-fil-A and Wes found out that we had never been and darn near run off the road getting us into it. Aunt Judi had been planning on making pork loin but Wes had decided that we were going to have a Chick-fil-a sandwich and, well, if you’ve ever seen a Holbrook make his mind up, there isn’t really much point in trying to change it, so Wes treated us to our fist Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches. They were really good! We’ll definitely be going back!

Back at their place Adam pulled out the therapist card and started finding out why Wes’s wrist and hand were swollen. Adam decided it was partly due to his posture when using his laptop and began devising ways to improve his posture and make some other changes that would help him out. As part of this we introduced Wes and Judi to Kings in the Corner, a card game that has many similarities to solitaire, except that it is for 2 or more. We played until about 9:30 with Aunt Judi not winning a single game and Adam barely one, while Tony and Wes had 4 each. We retired back to Kari’s for the night
