Backtracking even more!

I couldn't let the opportunity get away without sharing some photos from our Spring Break! Because of the economy, we all had just planned to stay here in Atlanta, and do things around home. But the closer the time came, the more Beth and Amy wanted to go "somewhere" to take the kids for Spring Break. So, both of them started searching for just the right place( and one that was inexpensive). My sweet sister, Lynn, overheard the conversation and offered for us to come to their lake house at Lake Hartwell. She really seems to want the family to use it more( and I've already warned her that Ralph and I just might take her up on that when he retires!) Well, we jumped at the chance! It was going to cold, no matter where we went, and Lake Hartwell is a lot closer to get to. The kids knew there was a hot tub there, and all the movies they could hope for, so they were "on board" immediately. We had the best time! We got there Sunday evening, and came home Wednesday afternoon. The kids enjoyed eating out, going to the mall....

Moms, and kids alike, enjoyed the Wii. Lynn and Tut have all kinds of games. (So, do you see why Ralph and I may be spending some time at Lake Hartwell after retirement?)
