We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Mom, Dad and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. We hope you have a joyous holiday. Today we arrived in South Carolina and will be spending Christmas and New Years with David & Trevor and their family and friends. If everyone of you has been as good as me this year then Santa won't be putting any coal into any of your stockings.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Play Day With Emma & David

Today Mom and Dad took me to Martinez, Ga, near Augusta, to see cousin Heather and her children Emma and David. Emma and David gave me a Christmas bag with 5 new toys. What a wonderful surprise! We didn't get to see Ken as he was out of town attending his grandmother's funeral. We went to lunch and then played in the leaves in their backyard. What fun!!!! I had a great day but was so tired I slept all the way back to Greensboro.

Sightseeing In Georgia

Boy have we been busy sightseeing in Georgia. Our first excursion was to Eatonton, the hometown of Joel Chandler, who wrote the famous Uncle Remus stories about Brer Rabbit. We went to the Uncle Remus cabin and, as you can see, I got my picture taken with a statue of Brer Rabbit. In the background you can see Uncle Remus' cabin. We have toured around Eatonton, Greensboro and Madison viewing the history and seeing some beautiful antebellum homes along Georgia's Antebellum Trail. Greensboro is a town that has been burned down twice, once by Indians and then by General Sherman on his march through Georgia. Madison is the only town Sherman did not burn down on his march to the sea. A friend lived in Madison so Sherman spared it.

We spent today in Atlanta where we visited Stone Mountain, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park and the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic site. As Mom and Dad always do, they took a picture of the graves of MLK and his wife to go in their Historic Grave album.

Sunday we are going to Augusta so I get to play with Emma and David. Later friends.........

Good Bye Florida, Hello Georgia

After 8 1/2 wonderful weeks in Florida visiting family and friends, today was moving day. We are now on the shores of Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. We set up and Mom got into the Christmas spirit so she and Dad hung icicle lights on our trailer. Its funny that we had to leave Florida and come to Georgia to get warmer temperatures. It was at freezing when we left Florida this morning. While we are here, we plan to visit with cousin Heather and her family, husband Ken and their children, my buddies, Emma and David. Mom also has us scheduled to do some sightseeing in Atlanta. Dad wants to go to Eatonton and see the Uncle Remus cabin. Stay tuned for updates on our Georgia activities......

Suwannee Christmas Lights

These are some pictures of the Christmas lights at the Spirit of the Suwannee RV Park. They advertise 5 million lights but we think that is a conservative estimate. It is a fantastic Christmas light display and I am glad we were able to see it.

Long Day Getting Back To The Suwannee

This morning we left Wauchula, FL, bright and early, headed back to the Suwannee River. BUT...We had to make a stop at Camping World in Tampa to replace a tire on the trailer. As luck would have it, Camping World didn't have the correct tire in stock so they had to get their distributor to deliver one. The tire was delivered as all of the techs were going to lunch. After spending 5 hours there we were finally on the road to Suwannee. We had to laugh as we were heading North on I-75. We were the only RV going North. All of the other RVs on the road were heading South. The snowbirds are arriving in Florida.

We sure enjoyed our time at the Peace River Resort in Wauchula. I enjoyed my time with my buddies Snickers and Taffy. Mom and Dad enjoyed their time with friends, John & Marcia and to finally meet Judy and Bob in person.

While here at Suwannee, we will be getting to see Christmas lights. The park has a drive-thru Christmas light display with over 5 million Christmas lights. If you all are good, maybe I can get Dad to post some pictures of the lights on the blog.

Take care.....
