Aimee's uncle David and his family live near Jacksonville, right between our house and Dallas, GA where her Dad and Brother live, and they were nice enough to let us stay at their house on the way up, which was a nice break from all the driving.
We had lunch with David's family (above) but then we were running late and needed to make up for lost time, so we threw Eva in the back with the rest of the luggage and took off. Just kidding!
We got to Aimee's Dad's house a bit late but we were happy to be done driving. Eva was too of course.
Near their house is a very long walking path called the Silver Comet trail. I think it goes all the way to Alabama. We went for a nice walk, but not quite that far of course. Eva got to ride in her new jogger stroller that Glenn and Janice got for us.
It was a bit chilly and rainy up there most days, but we had a few days with great weather. One of them was Black Friday and Glenn took us to some outlet shops and we got some great deals (unlike the outlet shops near us, which don't really offer anything quite that good.) We hung around the house, played some games and video games, watched some movies, and of course ate some turkey (and homemade scones!) All in all a nice relaxing vacation.
Then we had the 10-hour drive back, which considering we were traveling with Eva and needed to stop for lunch and dinner, it was going to be more like 12 hours. However there was sooo much holiday traffic, and I think we counted 13 accidents, that it took us over 14 hours to finally get home. What a long day of driving that was! We're just glad we made it back safely. I think we'll fly next time though!
