We decided to go visit James and Amber in Savannah over President's Day/Valentine's Day weekend. Sounded simple enough because I had a plan. Marybeth was coming in to watch the other kids (not Carter because he flies for free) and we'd be off. Boy do I owe her - her weekend was filled with chicken nuggets and sleeping on tents on the couch! We had a small layover in Chicago on the way there and all would be smooth. The weather was supposed to be in the 70's in Georgia so I packed capris and sandals. Sounded lovely. Well as any good story goes, we had a couple hiccups getting there, such as our connecting flight through Chicago didn't connect and they couldn't get us any closer than Atlanta (4 hour drive) and that wasn't until the next morning. The "good" news was our luggage made it to Savannah... right.
We spent the night in Chicago which turned out to be fantastic because we were able to hook up with Dee's step-brother, Rocky, and our niece and nephew for dinner.
Then off again! We made it finally after lots of early morning hours and not much sleep. Once we were finally there we had a great time. We got to meet our beautiful niece, Savannah (who I think looks like her beautiful mom.)
Unfortunately our trip was over way too quickly and alas, the return trip was also filled
with mis-haps including our flight not going because of a leak and spending 6 extra hours in Savannah after waking up at 12:45 our time we didn't make it home until 12:30 our time. A full 24 hours of partying in airports. Carter caught the flu somewhere along the way and the next day everyone here was puking which made me wish we had a vacation coming up...

Wow...that is really too bad that Carter caught the flu on top of everything else. We loved having you guys here. I wish that things would have gone smoother but we had a lot of fun. Thanks for the good times!
I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. It was great to see you guys and I miss you already!
sounds like you had a great adventure. Hope you can do it again.
