Spring Break

Okay, catching up with the news from La Doña. It's been a month since we posted anything. A lot has happened in a month: Spring Break, Holy Week, Easter, and a trip to Philadelphia for me (Michael).

Spring Break

I took Kennedy and Natalie with me to visit my dad and his wife, Cathy, for a few days. We were able to leave after church on a Sunday and stay through Thursday. The hot tub was the highlight of the trip for the girls :) Not really, but they did enjoy it.

On Monday, we drove down to Callaway Gardens for a picnic. We visited the butterfly garden and caught the Birds of Prey show. On the way back, we took the long way home in order to enjoy one of my dad's favorite restaurants, Mama Lucia's, in Newnan, GA. I can attest to the great atmosphere and even better food.

Tuesday, we took it easy. We made a visit to my grandmother, who is living in a nursing home on the west side of Griffin. She was happy to see us, and she seemed in better spirits than the last time I had seen her. In the afternoon, we enjoyed nine holes of golf at Morgan Dairy Golf Club (don't let the scary men fool you, it's a quiet, peaceful course out in the sticks).

On Wednesday, we had the experience of  breakfast at a place that dad frequents a lot called Murphys. All I can say about that is, if you've never been to a diner down south, you won't understand the atmosphere. In any case, I recommend the biscuits and gravy.

We left in a rush to go to the Georgia Aquarium. This place is incredible. Poke around their website and see. I think we have some pictures of our time there, and I'll try to post them later.
