6 am found us headed east on I20. We drove out of the cloud cover in Texas
into beautiful blue skies for the rest of our 10 hour drive across three states. Other than maneuvering around large cities, in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama,
and through some construction with the usual traffic slowdowns,
we had no problems cruising along the mostly straight highway, enjoying the beautiful fall foliage,
and the Mississippi welcome center view of the old and new bridges.
Soon after we crossed into Georgia, we left the freeway behind to travel the scenic byroads
to Douglasville, arriving at our destination at suppertime. This is the new house of our son Jesse, daughter-in-law Kaitlyn, granddaughter Bella, and granddog Copper. The family moved here recently from south Texas.
We were greeted by the family
who showed us around, fed us, and made us feel right at home. After an evening of chat and a couple of games of Sequence, we said goodnight.
Our purpose for the visit is threefold. First, we wanted to visit, since we didn't get a chance to see them before they moved. Second, we wanted to see their new house. Third, we didn't want them to spend Thanksgiving without any family.
Looking forward to the next 3 days,
Louise and Duane
