We made a whirl wind trip to Virginia, DC, and (for me) Georgia over the last week and a half. We spent Easter weekend with her family, went to dc for an educators conference and then I flew to ga to visit the family and get the miata. What was supposed to be a short 4:30 to 6:30 flight ended up being a 19 hour adventure due to the bad weather in the south last Wednesday night. I was supposed to be in Atlanta Wednesday night at 6:30 pm and didn't actually arrive until 3:45 thursday morning. NOT FUN. after finding out that all the rental car places were all out of cars (I wasn't the only stranded traveller), I had to wait for the 7:00 am shuttle to Athens. What a long, restless trip.
After all of that, I was able to get the car road ready Friday and I met my friends at the Mitty historic car races at road Atlanta on saturday morning. My plans were to drive to Chattanooga Saturday night and the rest of the way on Sunday, but the threat of storms on Sunday pushed me to make the entire drive on Saturday afternoon and night. I really didn't want to drive through the storms in the small, light weight miata. Doing the full trip solo really wasn't that bad, but I don't want to do it again soon either. Saw some tornado damage in north ga and tried to snap some pictures while driving... It is amazing what those storms can do!
I started my new job today and we won at curling tonight. We came back from a five to one deficit to win seven to five. I like winning!
After 3 years, we have adapted to the midwestern way of life... but I will always be a Georgia boy.
