have i left for vacation yet?

omg! what a long strange trip it's been! we got home last monday early morning like 4:30 am. we were driving thru kentucky on i-75 thru that most beautiful part where you come around a mountain and down into a valley where all of the sudden cincinnatti blasts forth on the horizon. this time it was night and it was really pretty with all the city lights and the freaking MILES of TAIL LIGHTS in the FREAKING TRAFFIC JAM we hit!! no kidding it took 3 hours to get thru it inch by inch---miles of backed up holiday traffic going into cincinnatti. sorry no pics of this - was much too tired to grab the camera.

but at least we were in ohio and that felt good after 16+ hours.

before that we had stayed overnight at Red Top Mountain, Georgia. I thought we loved Fort Mountain, but this place was pretty awesome too. campsites cut into the side of the mountain where you overlook lake allatoona, which was missing several feet of waterline--how sad that was. we hiked down to the lake and stood on and among huge boulders that had not too long ago been covered in water.

thanksgiving was spent in a tiny itty bitty town called CITRA florida, in a tiny itty bitty church that had a small event hall. we had 45ish people for thanksgiving. 7 turkeys. it was good seeing my husbands family again. they are so much fun to be around.

we were in south florida prior to that in west palm beach visiting friends and family and i visited by office in boca. missed those guys, but totally do NOT miss working in an office. everything was exactly the same as i left it 3 year ago. i think even the dust was the same. lol
