Our Adventure to Georgia

Since Drew has been here three times in the past year, I decided that it was time that Harrison and I went to Georgia to see them. Drew, Matt and Brantley have moved into a new house since the last time that I was there, so I wanted to check it out.  We left last Monday morning. We had a flight to Tampa, and then one to Tallahassee.  Tallahassee is only about an hour or so from Albany. I was very nervous about Harrison on the flight. Jeff and I have a VERY active little boy, so I knew that he would want to be constantly moving, and it's just not possible on a plane. He ate while we took off, and he did well for a little while. Then I knew that he was getting tired. I managed to get him to sleep for a little bit. When he woke up, he was not happy. Luckily, we only had a few minutes left.  The next flight was only about 45 minutes. He did great on that flight. It was a smaller plane, and he got to look out the window the whole time. When we got to Tallahassee, we went to pick up our luggage, and it wasn't there!!! Drew had come in just in time to see my start to panic! The car seat was with the luggage.  After talking to the lady at the counter, we found out that it would be in Albany the next day.  Meanwhile, Drew and Matt went and picked up a new car seat and a couple necessities while H and I walked around a very small airport. We finally made it to Albany about 8:30 that night. (I finally got all of my luggage on Wednesday! Part of it came in Tuesday, and the rest on Wednesday.)
The next day, Katie and Taryn came in to see us!!  We were so excited!!! Katie's friend, Meg, lives in Columbus, Ga, so she stopped through to see her and her new baby girl.
Sweet baby girl!!!

It was funny...this little hat is too big for Taryn, and it will hardly fit on H.

Aunt Katie and Harrison!

Brantley was an awesome babysitter! The kids LOVED her!

They played so well together!
Katie and T stayed Tuesday night, and we kinda just stayed around the house on Wednesday. They left later on that afternoon. I was so sad to see them go. Harrison absolutely loves Katie and Taryn. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we get to see them again!
Thursday, Drew, Brantley, Harrison and I went out and did a little shopping.  Harrison did so well! He was exhausted by the time we got back though! That night, Drew's SIL, Randi, came over to watch the kids while we went to go eat. There is a place that does music trivia on Thursdays, and we were going to go there. However, that was the one Thursday night that they weren't doing it.  I was so sad. So, we went to Mellow Mushroom instead. They had a live band that night, and it was a lot of fun! 
Friday, things turned bad! We all came down with a stomach virus. Nobody felt well Friday or Saturday, so we were pretty low key. 
Sunday morning, we left for Tallahassee for our trip back.  Thankfully, H and I both felt better, or well enough to fly.  I hated to leave. We always have so much fun when we visit with the Kunkles.  Drew cooked for us all week, and I am positive I gained about 5 pounds! It was SO GOOD!!!! I also got to eat some Krispy Kreme doughnuts!! The only thing that I didn't get was Krystal! I promised Jeff I wouldn't eat it since he wasn't there.  
Brantley and Harrison!

Drew and I Thursday night.

Aunt Drew and Harrison.

We had a layover in Tampa, so we played for a while.
Harrison did really well on the flights back home. He was SO excited to see Daddy! I was as well.  H saw him walking up before Jeff saw us and he gave the biggest smile! We had so much fun in Georgia, and we can't wait for our beach trip with them in May!!
