I had the opportunity to visit with some college friends that I have not seen since my wedding, a couple of them from even further back. My college roomate drove to the campground to see us so she could meet my children and say hi to my mom. Here is Susanne in the RV…

Later in the week, a group of us got together at The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. From left to right is Claire (who drove up from Warner Robbins), me, Susanne, Karen, Brooke, and Shannon….

We all had a great time catching up and will plan on doing it again the next time I am in Atlanta. :)

While we were in Atlanta we had a few fun times. My brother brought his bus both weekends and camped with us. Here is his bus,”The Pilgrim.” It was owned by a traveling minister who fulltimed in it for 18 years before Tim bought it.

The first weekend Andrea’s aunt Candy was in town and it was her birthday. They decided to have a little party for her. The girls decorated outside…

Here are the boys, my brother, and Andrea’s parents and aunt Candy waiting for the party to began.

Meghan and Josh helped put the candles on the cake…

And here is Candy blowing them out…

Yummy!!! I just had a wonderful breakfast! One of Nathan’s customers is Loveless Cafe in Nashville, TN. We stayed the night in Nashville and went to the Loveless Cafe for breakfast this morning. The Loveless Cafe is home to “The Biscuit Lady,” Carol Fay. I watched her on Food Network doing a Throw Down with Bobby Flay.

We were greeted by two of the employees, Jesse and Colleen. They gave us some of the history of the restaurant and the business while we walked to the restaurant. Carol Fay was at the restaurant this morning seating people. She seated us and Colleen joined us for breakfast. There was soon a big plate of hot, fresh biscuits on the table with homemade preserves (blackberry, strawberry, and peach) as well as honey and sorghum. All of these are made on the premises. Since the cafe is known for its biscuits I ordered steak biscuits with hashbrown casserole. They were delicious!!! I could only eat half of my breakfast, so the other half will be my lunch!! :)

After breakfast we walked around the store. Josh took a liking to Colleen and we soon found him with her behind the counter at the store! :) He will keep us jumping while he is growing up. :) We are now on the road to Atlanta and we will be there for 16 days so I may not update everyday.

While we were in Denver we stopped by Paladin Press, as I mentioned before. A few of the employees came in to look at the RV and they took a few pictures. Here is Kathy playing with Josh’s toy helmet…

And a very cute picture of Misty…

After showing off the RV we went down the street to a Walmart and called my sister-in-law’s sister, Melissa, and her and her husband Todd drove to meet us for dinner with their kids. They drove to the restaurant and we walked a half mile to meet them. I love it when you can walk off the calories going to and from the meal. :) We had a woderful dinner at one of my new favorites… Red Robin.

Here is a picture of Melissa with Josh after dinner…

Todd and the new baby Braedon (I hope I spelled that right)…

And a picture of their daughter Abigail who was playing with Samantha and Timmy before heading home…

Today I had the pleasure of meeting another Garnet. Kristi drove over an hour to spend some time with us while her two older children were in school. Kaia is her Garnet baby and she has a little boy named Brian as well. Here is a picture of all of the kids and also one of Kristi and me with the kids…

This is Joshua waiting to go into the pool…

And Timmy and Joshua playing in the pool…

And my last picture is of Timmy walking back to the RV…

We have been having a lot of fun. We looked at going to a couple of the local museums but we have decided that tomorrow will just be another day at the pool because after we leave here we drive for four days heading to Iowa. It will be quite awhile before the kids have a pool to swim in again! :)
