Georgia On My Mind....

Cute, huh?

What a great deck... where I spent most of my time.
Silly Faces- isn't she beautiful?
The "man" of the group - he turned four.

Do you know this song? I think Willie Nelson sang it. Anyway, it's always been very mellow, relaxing song and it's very fitting with the weekend I just had. I accompanied a friend to Atlanta for the weekend and had such a relaxing, restful time. I even read a book. I NEVER read a book; muchless a book in a weekend!

We went to my friend's parent's home and visited with her family. They have the most gorgeous backyard you've ever seen and it was the perfect spot for reading, napping, playing with the kids. We got there Friday afternoon and the three kids (my friend's nephew and two nieces) stayed with us Friday night. Despite a very restless night of sleep due to getting steam-rolled by a six year old little girl-she was all over the place. IT was a very relaxing evening. We ate delicious ribs, played hide-and-seek, and read. Saturday we went to a birthday party at this gymnastics place and ...well, let's just say they almost got charged for having three additional kids there because my friend, her sister and I were all over the trampoline. It was fun. Sunday was sleeping in, reading, and yet another cake and presents for the little guy that turned four. Big fun.

I returned to Nashville on Sunday and had the day off on Monday. Nice. Highly recommend sandwiching travel days with additional days off. And, today it was back to reality. Work. Busy day. The good news is that thought I dreaded the return this morning when I woke, by the time I got to the office, I was ready and happy to be back. It's good when you like your job.

So, below are a few pics of where I stayed. But prepare, it will make you want to vacation and do nothing at all.
