Atlanta, Georgia (October 12-16, 2012)

We allotted three full days for this family stop for my cousin, Fred, wanted to do some genealogical stuff. Saturday we visited several cemeteries where our ancestors now reside. This was quite interesting for I got to physically see the names I have been researching over the years.

The next day, Sunday, we all met at cousin Rita's home in the afternoon for a luncheon get together. My cousins Fred and Mike, their wives, and Rita's daughter joined us. We had the best of times talking about old times. It was so good to see them again.





On our final day, Fred and his wife, Donna, took us for a tour around their home in Senoia (pronounced Suh-noy). This was a beautiful area and the town, itself, had some great history as well as some very current attractions. Seems the town is a magnet for film productions in both the cinema and TV. Here are some of the movies filmed here: Driving Miss Daisy, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sweet Home Alabama, Foot Loose, and others.  One of the most popular TV productions was "The Walking Dead."

We had a great visit with family and now it is time to go home and settle down. We will be back in Savannah tomorrow where we will begin making our plans for our stationary home. 

This journey has been a multitude of emotions ranging from awe to disgust to fear to comfort and so many others in between. We would not have had it any other way. Not sure what the following post will be comprised of, but when I get the itchy keyboard fingers, I will bang it out.

Look out Savannah, we are coming home.
