New Year's Day 2008

Well, we ended the 2007 year in sunny Florida(80*) and began a New Year in not so warm Georgia! (Upon arrival at 7:30 p.m. a chilling 40*) We drove most of the day stopping only once for lunch and gas, until we were almost home. Then of course we finished off the trip at Cracker Barrel with the traditional New Year's Day meal-black-eyed peas, cole slaw and turnip greens. (unfortunately, we were still dressed for Florida temps wearing short sleeves, jeans and flip flops!)
After we were home and had the girls settled into bed, we discovered it was snowing! A very light snow, only lasting a few minutes, but hey- when it snows in Georgia you get excited even if it is just one or two flakes!
We enjoyed a new year's trip to visit Alan's grandmama in Florida. We went to the zoo while we were there. It was really an impressive zoo. The highlight of the girls' trip was riding a camel! They also had their face painted with a peacock design-very cute. Of course, I didn't pack as well as I thought and we had to go to the nearest Target for shorts!!
I decided to take Susan up on the blogging resolution and try this! Maybe we can keep each other accountable! I also have a new year's resolution to get my photo albums in order!
Well, I am going to get my kids in for an early evening!
