Okay, you'll just have to power through these amazing
mini-vacation photos before you get to the K Kids!
mini-vacation photos before you get to the K Kids!
First of all, after much worry and preplanning, there was not a flake of snow at the airport while southeastern Minnesota was snowed in! Crazy!
So, Fionn and I landed in Atlanta and arrived to see this!
Peach blossoms!
and Magnolia blossoms!
There were flowers budding out everywhere!
The prettiest flower of all was right here in my lap...
Baby Adelaide!
Smiling on her mama and happy with her new bunny hat!
When my son got home from work, we zipped (4 hours to the east) over to Savannah, GA!
This town is one of my favorites in the whole world!
We saw the Pete the Cat illustrators art gallery...
My kid is an excellent daddy!
Saturday morning we headed to the Farmers' Market at iconic Forsythe Park...wow, fresh fruit and veggies!
Here's what baby Adi thinks of all this tourist stuff!
Fionn and I walked the entire length of Historic Savannah!
We headed south for an hour to Jekyll Island!
How I LOVE the ocean! Strange how I was the only one IN it...hmmm, must be my Lake Superior training.
Sunday morning Fionn and I woke early to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean! Amazing! There's a video on my facebook and Instragram page if you are interested...
We were the first ones to beach comb...
After checking out of the amazing beach front (nearly, just a small board walk hike away on account of the sea turtle rules, no artificial light on the beach) hotel, we ventured to the Jekyll Island Sea Turtle Rescue Center.
We also checked out the cool 250 year old ruins of a mansion once on the island.
We visited this slightly eerie driftwood beach.
Our last stop was the visitors' center to purchase an orb as we did not find any. Every day in January and February, orbs are hidden on the island for people to find and KEEP!
Artists from around the country are commissioned to create these beauties to bring tourism to the island on the off season. Graham and Melissa go yearly on a quest to find one. I teased that I found one! I just had to PAY for mine!
But this was the biggest treasure ever...spending time with this little family!
Yep, back at school Monday morning
after getting back at 3 am.
That makes for part of the fun!
