Sorry I have been late in my updates. I had to catch up with real work before I could play. We got into Atlanta late on Thursday. We were still packing stuff in the house on Thursday morning and we stopped and had lunch in the Boro with Nathan’s parents. Our site was beautiful and right on the lake. We spent most of Friday with Andrea (my sister-in-law) and her girls. Friday was their youngest, Meghan’s 2nd birthday. We had pizza and cupcakes with them after my brother Tim got home from work.

Saturday we got up EARLY and went to the Georgia Aquarium with Tim and Andrea, their two girls, Nathan’s parents (they drove up for the day) and a friend of Samantha’s that used to go to school with her and moved to Atlanta. Here are a couple of pictures:

We left around lunchtime and started driving towards New Mexico. We ended up stopping around midnight about an hour from Oklahoma in Arkansas somewhere. Nathan didn’t sleep long and was back on the road by 4:30! We are now driving through Oklahoma right in the path of tropical depression Erin! I just checked the forecast and there is a tornado watch and flash flood warnings…. what a great time to drive through Oklahoma! Here are some pictures of the flooding in Oklahoma:

The good part is as soon as we get through it there is no rain or weather of significance through Texas or New Mexico. Nathan is figuring we will be in Albuquerque by this afternoon and since Aloha is open until 5:00 we may be able to at least look at our new home. Definitely wouldn’t mind taking it today but that is unlikely.
