Our Thanksgiving Trip To Georgia

We went to Georgia for Thanksgiving. It was the first trip since this past March. I had mixed feelings about going, but it was a pretty good trip after all. We stayed at DH parents home. It is always tough staying there, but really this was one of the better trips.

We arrived late Monday evening. Got unloaded and ready for bed. I got up early the next morning and was on the road by 10:30 a.m. heading to pick up one of my brothers and we went to Rome to see our other 2 brothers and our Mother.

First we went to see our brother Jesse in Lindale which neighbors Rome. His wife had fixed sloppy joes and fries for lunch and we had a great time visiting and talking about childhood stuff. Then we went to see Mom and Leo. I had not told them we were even coming to visit. We went and got pizza's for them and some candy too. Then gave them both a shock! It was great to see them laughing so much. It was 10:30 that night before I got home.

On Thanksgiving Day I was saddened to see dinner would include only 9 people of the close to 40 we usually have. It was disappointing for my inlaws as well. But we made the most of it and had a good time still.

Afterward the kids wanted to go fishing. So DH gathered poles and tackle from Grandma's building and down to the lake they went. They caught several fish! It was a great day for the kids!

We decided to leave on Friday. First we stopped back in to the Nursing Home to visit Mom and Leo once more. Then we stopped in Tennessee to eat at CI CI"S pizza with DH lil brother and his family. It was good to see them. We were back on the road by 4pm. We made it home by 11:15pm and we were very tired.

All in all it was a good trip. I don't know when we will get back there. It may be spring or later.
