Got up a little later than usual as we had a short travel day planned. Again the truck traffic on I75 was really heavy. We traveled to Decatur in a little under 2 hours and arrived just before noon. After n enthusiastic greeting by my sister Kathy

(her husband Paul was working) we parked the motorhomes in the church parking lot across the street and went into the house to catch up on things. Kathy & Paul had just arrived home the night before from a 2 week trip to MA where they stayed in our house while we were gone. We caught up on what was going on in MA and their day trips while there. Also a few stories about our lonely cats. For lunch, we walked to a nearby restaurant specializing in barbecue. Dave and I had a greta bowl of Brunswick Stew while some others had pulled pork sandwiches. I forgot, Kathy's oldest daughter Kate was with us also with her new 8 week old baby boy Ian. He was a cheerful little chub! When we got back to the house, Kath's youngest daughter Lauren & Kate's husband David had arrived. Lauren is in pre-med school and lives just North of Atlanta currently.

A high level of chatter ensued until all the ladies

left to go to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and Dave and I stayed to enjoy the peace and quiet. Paul came home from work about 4:30 and we quickly got into discussions about all the changes that they had made to the house since our last visit about 3 years ago and the current projects in planning. When the ladies returned, Paul got out the grill and cooked burgers and dogs and we all chowed down on these and salad. Discussions after dinner lasted until about 9-9:30 when the girls left and the (4) campers retired to our homes across the street in the church parking lot. Sleep was a little difficult due to the combination of an unlevel parking lot, heartburn from the Brunswick Stew and acorns intermittently falling all night long from the tree we were parked under.
