Yup, so we finally took a real vacation!  Well, we call it real, cause for us it was.  Some people thought we were crazy though.  We didn't go to a theme park. We didn't go camping. We did sort of go to the beach, but we were away from home for a whole week. That was enough for us. Along the way we even got to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame! That was even more awesome.  Yes, I enjoyed it thoroughly. But seeing my husband fulfill a life long dream and having our son there with him was well worth it for me!  We even had an added bonus!


Okay, I know your just dying to know!  We went back to where we lived just before moving to Indiana.  We went to Augusta, GA.  We wanted to see some friends, and take care of a few things that we still have going on down there.  I was missing many friends terribly, and my dear sweet husband new I could use with a good dose of Sharon and Reid!  He wanted to see a few of his good friends too, but would never admit to it!!  He was able to get out and play some golf one day, while I went to my old place of employment and then met up with some girlfriends for lunch. We had a cook out with some good ole southern Low Country Boil and Beer Brats!

We also celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary while on vacation!  Since moving to GA 5 years ago, we had begun a tradition sort of.  Every year we went to Savannah for our anniversary.  Most of the time we were lucky and could get away by ourselves. A time or two we had at least one child with us, but it was no biggie!  When we moved to Indiana, I thought for sure our yearly trip to Savannah was done and we wouldn't be making it back.  I figured we would just find something else to do.  When hubby told me we were going to Savannah, I was so excited!!  And we were able to go for the night!! Yay!!  We had the boy with us, and were excited when one of our good friends was able to go with us.  It was something we had tried to do with our friend before moving away, but never found the time to make the trip.  We had an awesome time.  Got to eat at all our favorite places, and walk the river.  The weather wasn't too bad, we were even able to make a trip out to the beach at Tybee before heading back to Augusta on Wednesday morning!  That was the best anniversary present!

Back in Augusta, we had dinner with a few other friends. Made a few last minute stops to say good-byes and packed up to be able to leave early Thursday morning.  Thursday we drove to Canton, Ohio.  Home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and famed Fawcett Field, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game every August.  This was the part of the trip hubby had been waiting for, and looking forward too!!  We spent more than 4 hours in the hall of fame on Friday.  The bonus was, this is the first year they have allowed regular visitors to the hall on the field at Fawcett Stadium.  It was amazing!  The boys were able to run around on the field and toss a football!  They threw the ball, and tackled each other.  They kicked punts and field goals.  The boy even ran the full length of the field twice with out stopping!























So this was our fabulous vacation!!  We are so lucky to have been able to go. And it was definitely needed!  My hubby learned how to relax again! It has been so long since he has been able to do that.  What with moving and the new "job".  We have been talking since we got home. Next year we will do something new and exciting!  Chicago? New York? Niagara?  Washington D.C.... that will probably be our winner!  Go see the Redskins play a game at home!!

Life is wonderful!
