Georgia Road Trip

The past week has been an extremely full one. Last Monday, Rich started a great new job, and Thursday we took our first road trip in our SUV. It's only 8 hours drive to GA, and so we buckled the dog in his car seat and took off. We really enjoyed spending time with his family. Also the cotton was in full "bloom," and it is so pretty! I cajoled Rich into pulling over by a cotton field so I could take a couple of photos and also steal a piece of cotton. :) 

 Just leaving for our road trip. Rich is a very serious driver!!! 

The best little road tripper, looking out the window from his car seat. hehe. :)

The reason I bought an SUV: to avoid an awkward little tray of belongings on the back of my car. 

We finally found some hills in FL!!! I know, my CA friends, it's nothing. But you just don't understand how exciting these small rolling hills are when the place you live in is generally like the Kansas prairie. :)

On our way to the rehearsal. Did I mention that this is the time Apple maps failed us??? We drove 50 miles out of our way because apparently, Apple doesn't do country. 

Gorgeous cotton fields!

Fluffy cotton! 

The house where the wedding was held. So much property, here we call it a town. 

Bad lighting, I know--but see the cows? Somehow black and white cows seem friendlier than brown cows. Just sayin. 

My perfect little stolen fluff of cotton.

The "handsomest"best man ever! 

Dan and the minister waiting for the bride! 

Rich's Aunt Sylvia and cousins.

Someone is a little exhausted from our long vacation!
