Georgia Christmas

Luke and I are back from our wonderful trip to Georgia for Christmas. Our flights really weren't bad either (any way you splice it's a long haul). We left Roswell around 2pm MT on Friday the 17th, and arrived into Augusta airport at 10pm ET. My parents were waiting for us as we walked out of the terminal...it makes you feel so good to have people greet you. I can't remember the last time someone was waiting inside an airport verse just driving around the loop waiting for me to jump in the car.

In Augusta we played a billion games as my family always does. We are officially "hardcore gamers". We also visited Luke's co-workers working in Augusta that we might be joining soon (still no official word at this point). Everyone from my family was in town except my brother's family, so we had present time that Saturday night.

Come Monday Luke's mom and sister met my parent's halfway between Augusta and Savannah for the exchange (Thank you families).

In Savannah our first stop was Jalapenos. A Mexican joint near Luke's home that is a favorite for sure. Let me tell you... I soo miss white queso!! You can't find white queso in New Mexico, and I much prefer it over yellow queso.

The next couple of days we wondered around town looking at different homes for sale and taking it easy. One highlight of the trip was having captain Ben take us for a spin on the boat he is sailing to the Bahamas in a few short weeks.

Christmas Eve we caught up with some of Luke's Savannah friends who I feel I know really well just from reading their blogs (you can see them on my side bar: Barefoot Daydreams and Those Mitchells).

Christmas was nice and relaxing. The Dorman girls went to see "Tangled" the new Disney movie of Rapunzel. It's very cute and I have no shame watching kid flicks.

The day after Christmas it was time to head back west. Savannah started showing a bit of flurries and I thought we might not make it out of town, but they sprayed our plane down with some anti-freezing compound and we hit the sky. Luke and I pulled in the driveway around 10pm our time, and to our surprise had a wonderful treat waiting for us. I had told our neighbors I was sad about not seeing all of the houses lit up with tea lights (a New Mexico tradition), so they had our walkway lit up when we arrived. It was beautiful and very sweet. I will surely miss such great neighbors.

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you all a great start to the New Year!
