We Have Arrived at Jackfest Deux

Grandson Jack will be two on Sunday. The family has gathered at Dr. Bob's house in South Carolina for the event. Jack was born on the Summer Solstice - June 20th 2008.

Lulu and I left Tallahassee at 7 AM. With several stops for shopping - bathroom - gasoline - and lunch - we got here in 6 hours at 2 PM. It was 270 miles total. This time we avoided the interstate highways as much as we could - taking mostly Georgia state routes 84 and 82. We went through the towns of  Thomasville - Waycross - Quitman - Valdosta -  Hobokon - Brunswick - and Savannah.

When we got here - the birthday boy was napping - finally waking up at 4 PM.

At total of 29 people are coming to the big event. Keith and Liz are here from Washington. Robin's family is coming from Augusta - Baltimore - and Washington.

We have the honor of staying in the guest house here. Most of the kids are staying in "the big house." Some of the guests are at a local hotel.

On Sunday - we will take Robin - Drew - and Jack to the Savannah Airport - then we will drive home. We will be home Sunday night.
