Georgia Day 1

Technically day one of our trip would've been Friday, which we spent driving.  It took us two gas stations, two Starbucks drive-thrus, one Chik-fil-a, and FOURTEEN hours, but we made it!  C was an absolutely perfect travel companion.  Seriously, he was soooo good it was unbelievable.  (He has always been a great traveller so I guess I should not have been completely surprised)  He happily "read" books, looked out the window, watched movies, colored, sang songs, played his leapster, snoozed, and even made a few phone calls to pass the time. 

On Saturday, C was up bright and early so hubby took us on a tour of Ft. Benning.

We went out to the lake and spent a perfect morning lazily throwing rocks in the water, looking for turtles, and just drinking in the wonderfullness of being together as a family again!

After the lake, we went to the infantry museum on base.

A uniform completes the look. ;)

Hubby freaking out!

Inside the room that simulated the fighting in Vietnam.

Stopping for a midday treat!

Yay!  The Wild Animal Safari!

Oh snap!

Any time the buffalo showed up C was in hubby's lap.  I don't blame him!  Those things were huge, and nasty!  There is still buffalo go on the windows of the car, even after a wash!

Note the nose coming through the driver's side window that these two don't even notice.  Hubby almost
got licked by that one!

I look like I'm laughing...but under those glasses it's sheer terror folks. ;)

After the drive-thru we explored the walk-about.
