Fresh Out of Grandmas


Thanksgiving 2010 rolled around and we found ourselves "fresh out of grandmas" as Tom put it and therefore unable to head over the river and through the woods to grandma's house...so we headed off to s/v Honey Ryder to spend the holiday. *Come on...what is wrong with a little holiday family humor to get us all ready for the season.
We waited too late for flights all the way in so instead we flew directly to Atlanta and drove the 4 1/2 hrs to Brunswick. Flying on the eve of TGiving with the hordes of people & CHILDREN (yikes) and new TSA "third date" pat downs all in the news, we were nervous. But the hype seemed to work in our favor and scare people off. Parking was a breeze and the new "prison love" style pat down wasn't all that bad. Even traffic out of Atlanta was ok. Driving late at night through the woods of GA we did have to keep our eyes peeled for critters. The grand total was 2 coyote, 1 possum, 1 deer and 1 dog - all heart stopping sightings and all happily still alive. The last 1 1/2 hr as we approached the coast we drove in and out of fog. In Brunswick it was pretty thick and didn't burn off until mid morning.
