On Tuesday morning we got up early and packed up to start the drive. We hadn't been up to visit since July with Dawson was only two months old, and this drive was much different. At two months old, he slept almost the entire trip, however this time he stayed awake the whole trip. He was happy though. He played, looked out the window, talked, and tried to grab Bentley's ears (we made her ride in the seat beside him so it would provide him some entertainment).
Tuesday evening we went to Mamaw's surprise 80th birthday party. She had a great time, was surprised by the party, and surprised that we were in town. It was a lot of fun and several friends and family members who had not met Dawson before got to see him.
On Wednesday we met our newly engaged friends, Jeff and AT, for lunch which was great fun! We got to catch up, hear about all of their exciting wedding plans (even more exciting because John is in the wedding), and they got to see Dawson eat his oatmeal for lunch which is entertainment in itself. After lunch we did a little shopping at Turkey Creek which we were excited to see is even more developed since a couple of years ago when we were out there last.
Thursday John got to play golf with his Dad at Rarity Bay. That evening Dawson and I went to visit Steph in Knoxville. She cooked some great pizza for dinner, and we had fun catching up and watching her Yorkie, Bear, react to Dawson. Stephanie drove all the way down to see Dawson when he was only three days old in the hospital, she saw him in July, but hadn't seen him since, and he's changed a lot. We had a lot of fun, just hanging out like old times!
We also had fun seeing family while we were in town and plan to do more of that while we're in for the holidays. Unfortunately we didn't do a good job taking pictures on this trip, so I only have a couple to share with you all. Enjoy!
