Georgia

We went down to George this weekend. What an event!

Started the 10+ hour trek down on Thursday evening and hit a 4 hour delay on 95. It ended up being a fatal accident that shut down all but one lane and there was really no way around it. But we were able to squeeze by and drive another 2 hours or so until we both were too tired to drive any further. We thought about stopping at a hotel and sleeping but decided to stop at a rest stop and sleep. We woke up, drove a bit more, and stopped somewhere else to sleep again. After a full day's worth of work we thought we had it down...one would sleep while the other drove and vice versa. No....this didn't happen. We were both just too tired. We finally got to our hotel around 1pm Friday. It was fun seeing Nano. I fell in love with Georgia but Greg seemed to dislike it very much because of the heat.

We drove around, ate a bunch, and swam a bit, but the two biggest events were hockey game playoffs. They have an amature team down there and they are in their final games of the season. There's nothing like seeing the home team score a tie in the final 24 seconds of a game that throws it into overtime then watching them score the winning goal. I mean the crowd was in an uproar and the guys had tears in their eyes. It really does get emotional. Dan, I know what you mean now about wanting to get into sports. It really is alot of fun. Especially when your husband and his friend decide to wear mohawks like the players did for the 2nd game of the playoffs. :)
