Tim and Holly picked us up at the very huge and the busiest airport in the United States, Atlanta. From there we went to the Atlanta Aquarium which was spectacular. Here Holly, Tim, and I are standing infront of a tank, not a mural!
We stopped at a cafe in the aquarium to have dinner.
Here we were at a well stocked and arranged petting tank where there were lots of manta rays and hammer head sharks within reach. Greg, however, was the only one able to actually pet a shark. The rays really did seem like they enjoyed being petted so we stroked their backs for quite a while...
Sitting with Holly and Tim in their home was heaven. It was sunny and warm (~80'sF) all week.
After Tim got off work one evening we went to Lake Tobesofkee in Macon for a BBQ. The sand there was the classical red of Georgia.
The home across the lake is rumored to be Jeff Foxworthy's.
We had a perfectly gorgeous sunset during dinner. Enthralled by the view we forgot the fact that our car was parked on the other side of the woods thru which we had to walk... in the dark... praying we wouldn't run into and Southern-type creatures along the way!
Greg and my goal was to eat as much Southern cousine as possible! Holly talked me through making She-Crab Soup and Hush Puppies one night and it was delicious...
Rain's best smile :)
We took a hike through the Georgia woods. Tim and Holly had once spied an armadillo in these woods last time they were here...
...but all we saw on this hike was this spider suspended across the trail. Holly nearly wore it on her shoulder! Look down at your palm... That's how big this spider was :<
Eat your heart out, Bruce! This is an amazing store is a Southern legend . You may have seen it on the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" video. I bought a pair of shoes for work here :)
The last evening we were there was Rain's obedience class. She did VERY well.
One afternoon Holly and I got to talking and decided to do some female bonding and go have nail extensions put on!
There are more pics that I'll be sending out later on Shutterfly. But this gives you a feel for how our visit with Tim and Holly went.
And Thank you, Tim and Hol, for the wonderful Southern hospitality. You have a wonderful home and live in a beautiful place!
PS. I'm jealous of your flowering hibiscus and am missing our stops at the Waffle House.

The house you see in the background of one of your lake shots is that of my neighbor, the Registers, who own a local radio and TV station in Macon. Just thought I'd let you know. They built the house, so I know Jeff Foxworthy has never lived in it. Thought you'd like to know.
