There are LOADS of pictures from this trip, over 130! Good friends, great old house, decent weather (for February on the coast...), and a halfway decent dinner!
I just really love Coastal Georgia-- if it weren't for the weather, I'd definitely have a home there!
Vivi is NOT as small as she used to be!

Explaining about the powder packets-- Anu informed us that it was actually what sparked a rebellion in India because the packs the British had were made of pork skin and the Indian militias (who did not eat pork) were forced to rip them open.

Notice the ear plugs-- totally not authentic!

The picture almost identical to my 4th grade one! Major difference? It's not pouring down freezing cold rain! Well, that and about 15 years...

We came
We saw

Wade's not so sure if the conquering was good yet or not
The gator pond outside
The Crab Shack! Not too shabby, but our waitress was a big fat B.

And the fireplace
We made a huuuge breakfast the morning before we left
COOLEST SINK EVER
