Spring Break Road Trip ~Our Last Weekend ~Lacrosse ~House Projects ~Wings and Rock Fest ~Family Time is Priceless

Our Spring Break Trip to Georgia went by so fast,
as a family vacation usually does.

Jake and Emily’s nephews all play Lacrosse
at a nearby High School.
We were pleased to attend one of their home games.

The oldest nephew is a Senior and a talented
three-sport athlete, Football, Wrestling, and Lacrosse.

Here is his Uncle Jake at the same age.
He started dating our Emily when they were College Freshmen.

We quickly learned how to watch Lacrosse…
and to love Lacrosse.

By the time he was a Senior he was Team Captain,
and was named All-American that year.

A decade later, here’s our All American Son-in-Law
working on projects around their new home.

While they also had other work obligations, Hubby and I explored
their Hometown Main Street. There were plenty of Shops and Boutiques
to keep us busy for a couple of hours.

With their job deadlines met, we returned to some fun house projects,
like the furniture for the Nursery.
They assembled the crib,
while I “tested” the Rocking Chair there.

Then the dresser…Those of you that have purchased IKEA furniture
know that the booklet of instructions can be a challenge.

Taking it one step at a time, is the key.
While there are no words,
one just needs to match the parts with the photos.

Our last day’s highlight was their
local Wing and Rock Fest.
Live Music…

…Lots of Food Trucks with the best southern BBQ,
And plenty of people.

We snagged a place to hang out…

While Jake snagged us a variety of wings and sauces.

It was up early the next day to load the car
and say goodbye to our family. We had a wonderful time.

Emily and Jake, thank you for everything.
We look forward to our next visit to see the progress on your new home…
and to meet that new little bundle of joy.

Take care,
~Natalie
