We're back from vacation, but the fond memories remain. We had loads of fun and a good amount of rest on Jekyll Island. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you have the chance to go with an expert like June McCash. We learned a lot and enjoyed family time to boot. Go! Soon!

From Vacation

Jekyll Island

We're spending the weekend at Jekyll Island with Amanda's mom, her Uncle Richard, and her Aunt June. June (McCash) is an expert on the history of the island, having written several books on the subject; we are fortunate to be able to learn so much about the building and people here. Yesterday we went to the ocean and the kids had loads of fun. It is quite different from Ft. Walton Beach, with fewer people around. You can really enjoy it. This morning we went to brunch at the Jekyll Island Club, which was delicious. It is hard to imagine the amount of power and money that once dined in that room. Later today we will probably return to the ocean or go to the sea turtle hospital.

Alex Graduates

Today is Kindergarten Graduation Day at Mt. Paran. Alex is having lots of fun at the after party. It's at Acworth Beach. Can you believe we have a beach?

Georgia is on Fire

I don't know if the picture does it justice, but there is a thin veil of smoke hanging over Atlanta today. South Georgia is on fire, and the winds have brought a reminder to us. And it's not just fog_ no, you can *smell* it in the air.

Happy Mother's Day

We're at American Adventures celebrating a mom and her kids. Claire can't participate much but she and I are amusing ourselves. Just think, all you moms- you, too, could be riding bumper cars with your offspring!

Again, Happy Mother's Day!
