Browsing around Blue Ridge, Ga

We took a "bad" situation and made the best of our trip, we made it a vacation, did some sight seeing and had a very nice time visiting with family we don't get much time to visit normally. We couldn't have asked for a better week - well the weather was plain HORRIBLE, us Arizonan's aren't used to humidity and humid it was! I don't know how ANYone lives in that - UGH!

Today we went to Blue Ridge, Ga. did some sightseeing, shopping, lunch and then back "home" for a nap for Sakura then up to the cabin to have dinner with Dad, Jane and Uncle Joey and visit with Big Papa.

Sakura posing for Mommy by the sign - down an alley, I just thought it was cute :)

They even have BEARS in Blue Ridge! These bears were gentle.


We went into a toy store ... Daddy found something he thought Sakura would like so we went outside to wait for Daddy to pay, and I told Sakura to sit on the bench that Daddy was bringing her a SURPRISE! She was SO excited! Everytime she sees these pictures, she says "Prize Mommy" - funny!

Anxious for Daddy to come out and see her "PRIZE" - Gramma Janie was peek-a-booing her.

MORE bears in Blue Ridge!

Stopping to smell the flowers - notice her hair stuck to her head! It was HOT and miserable!

Finished dinner, and making the walk to Great Grandpa's house - that's my Dad's house being built, don't know how Gramma Janie does it living in a TEENY tiny travel trailer so long and managing, but she does and even managed to fix dinner for us a few times! She's the BEST!
