davemerrillSo we're back from our vacation. Where did we go? On Thursday the 20th we got in the car and drove down to Cincy where we stayed with Greg and Melissa and their brood. On Friday we were in Atlanta with the folks. On Saturday we went to a wedding.
Matt "Corn Pone Flicks" Murray and Melanie "Forsyth Fabrics" Rabon were hitched in an lovely outdoor ceremony somewhere near Jefferson, GA. Much food and cake was had by all. Afterwards we drove over to Athens, spent the night in that Hampton on the Atlanta Hwy near the Alps, and then the next day Devlin and Mandy went with us to the J&J Flea Market.
From there it was overland to Myrtle Beach SC, where the family was already in place. For the next week we got sunburned, were tossed around in the ocean, saw a lot of relatives, and fed an egret on the marsh in Garden City.
The Garden City arcade has this great Godzilla game, too.
All too soon it was time to head back northwards. On Saturday we passed lines of cars heading to the beach and struck out through the piney woods of the Carolinas to our appointment with destiny in Albemarle.
That's about fifteen kinds of awesome.
From there we went into the mountains, stopped at Wycheville VA for the night, and the next day continued into West Virgina and Point Pleasant, the home of the Mothman.
And thence to Columbus OH where we had beer and dinner with Rick Sanford & Ann before crashing in their guest bedroom and Monday making our Canada Day way back across the border to the accompaniment of fireworks.
And that is what we did on our summer vacation.

And you HAVE lost weight. Even your head looks thinner which kinda freaks me out some. You're starting to look like an SF writer whose name I can't recall, and dude, you look a tad sunburned as well!
