Brad and Terrace plus one head to GA

Brad and Terrace had this trip planed to GA for a couple months to see Scott graduate from OCS school. Scott was unaware they were coming and it was really hard on Julie and Brad to keep it a secret but they did! They were leaving on a flight Tues morning from Seattle. I knew I would have a hard time with them gone but we thought I would be too uncomfortable so we didn't book a ticket for myself. By Sunday I was getting sad and found that flights were cheap enough and decided to join them. We did not tell Julie I was coming along and what a great SURPRISE!

It was a full day of travel to get there and another full day to get home but it was worth it. I got no comments on how big I was until the day of travel home and then I got alot! Scott was very happy we were there and it was sooo great to spend time with them. Everyone was so nice in GA and the weather was awesome as well! My friend Amelia lives in Atlanta and drove down to spend an afternoon with us which was so great to see her.

Lance and Terrace did so well together as long as we were not in the hotel room. We wish we lived closer to Scott, Julie and the kids and it is always sad when it is time to leave. The flights home went well but the drive home was very tough as we were so tired and we spent the rest of the weekend catching up on sleep!

Enjoying the BEST bbq just outside of Birmingham AL....we had a huge sampler platter. We stopped to eat before our 2.5 hr drive to Columbus GA.



all together right after we got checked in, terrace is introducing lance to the itouch....it was used the whole trip as brad put cartoons and easy games on it - life saver!


Visiting the Chattahoochee River walk, turtles live in the river, they were so cute


found a water spout to play with as it was so hot

Dinner in downtown Columbus with Amelia; Terrace was so quiet while we enjoyed each others company! thanks millie for making it down to see us, we love you!

Lance, Jaden, and Brad and Terrace during graduation. The kids did well and my pictures of Scott did not turn out :( We are very proud of you Scott!




Brad and Scott after graduation


After nap, left overs in bed for TJ and mom. We took late naps (until 5pm or later) and stayed up late every night while we were there and never adjusted to the 3 hr time difference...


Our wonderful graduation dinner (again...such great food!), notice the matching TJ and baby dress we found and she has since been obsessed with this outfit. We had a great time together and the restaurant was very nice allowing Lance and TJ to have their own area to run around and dance.



Our first of two flights home and like every other trip we have taken, Brad and Terrace sleeping!
