We left Brunswick for Vienna on Monday - 5/14. Chuck & Gail headed to Savannah for some time alone to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Greg & I pulled into Vienna & parked in the yard behind Diane’s house. I know we started much talk in town - new KOA campground in Vienna-. We did some house keeping and visiting with my family on Tuesday. On Wednesday Chuck & Gail joined us at the new KOA campground. That evening we all went to my niece Laura’s for dinner.
On Thursday we went to Andersonville - one of the largest Confederate military prison during the Civil War & now a national POW memorial. What a place - this is probably one of the most moving places I have ever seen.
After Andersonville we went to The Little White House in Warm Springs - this was where Roosevelt went to try to recover from polio. While we were touring the therapy pools we were lucky enough to meet a lady who was one of the physical therapist that worked with Pres Roosevelt there. She is 103 & very sharp. Boy, did she have a great since of humor. She said her only claim to fame was “she stretch Pres. Roosevelt’s hamstring”. This was a great memory making moment on our trip.
The boys took off by themselves on Friday for Warner Robins Air Force Base to check out the museum while the girls did a little retail therapy (we needed it-don’t want go into withdrawal). That night for dinner we all went to a place on the river for dinner - Pats Fish Camp- it truly is a fish camp.
Saturday was a sad day - had to leave my sisters. We made our way to McDonough - just south of Atlanta - checked out the area & not too much to see. Today we checked out Stone Mountain - the capitol in Atlanta & had a nice but short visit with my niece & nephew who live in Marietta. Tomorrow we are going to my brothers. We will be there until Friday when we start our trek northward.  There will be a part 2 to this post - can't get all the pictures on this post.
