Georgia

After spending two days in South Carolina, and having never dealt with the southern humidity and sun, Haley and I had to move on.  Today, we were not going for 15 hours but only about 3 1/2 to Alpharetta, Georgia to our cousins house. (My cousins are in their 60s.....)

Until this day, Haley and i had ever met these cousins.  We had heard a lot about them and when I graduated College, they sent me a gift which was very thoughtful.  As Haley and I make our way into Alpharetta, we notice that this town was starting to become a huge town.  There was construction and remodeling  all over.  We both look at the gps to see how much longer we have, only 10 minutes left.... where are we?  We enter a "community" and it looks like something out of the Stepford Wives.  We turn onto Cutty Sark Way (..... just a weird name for a street) and there is the house of our cousins... it's pretty huge and awesome.

We get out and go to the door, and there is cousin Diane.  It was her birthday and had turned 61, but didn't look a day over 50.  She looks us down and then she has us sit down and calls over her 2 best friends.  They come over and just start telling us about their lives and what we should expect from men and that whatever you do: don't get fat, don't listen or try to talk to men about emotions and keep your friends and family close. (Not bad information to keep in mind).

So we hang out in the pool, take a nap, get to know our two older cousins and in the morning, we woke up and started our journey to Texas.
