Road Trip 2012, part II.

On Wednesday the girls and I left Atlanta and drove south to Tifton, Georgia where my sister Marian and her family live. Marian kindly hosted a Happy Hour that afternoon for her friends to stop by and visit with me. She had prepared a beautiful spread of delicious food, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to spend time with her nice friends.

Vivian loved Marian's dog Tallulah

Waiting to pick up Marian's son Henry from his day camp


Henry's camp, Winshape, was sponsored by Chick-Fil-a. Vivian was very glad to meet the Chick-Fil-a cow. She walked over and gave him a hug and then promptly told the cow he needed to go back to the barn

On Friday we left Tifton and drove to Thomasville, Georgia where my friend Anne-Murray's son was getting married the following day.

I have always thought Thomasville was the prettiest town in Georgia. It is in the far southwest corner of the state and is one of the few areas Sherman missed when he burned his way to the sea during the Civil War. Thomasville thus retains many huge old oak trees and historic plantations.

Robert and Will flew into Tallahassee Friday afternoon and drove the hour north to Thomasville to join us.


Beautiful downtown Thomasville


Vivian didn't mind strolling up and down the main street, but she balked whole-heartedly at going in any stores. Never mind that it was unbelievably hot and humid outside {sigh}


We took turns going into shops and waiting outside with Vivian


Dressed for the wedding Saturday. My wonderful sister and her kids drove over from Tifton to babysit Vivian at our hotel during the ceremony and reception

The bride's parents were also married in this beautiful old church
