Still On The Run

Tuesday we went to dinner with friends and, as usual, had a blast! Our friends Dima and Shadi were back in town. They had been out of town the whole time we were in Atlantis but finally arrived in the middle of that big storm. Yikes! It was so great to see them. Our dinner was fabulous and the conversation bubbling as always. It was short and they were tired but for us it was totally great to spend even a little time together.

We went back to the hotel and walked through the casino. We were tempted to do a little gambling but I lost the taste while watching a woman loose about $5000 in 2 minutes. She looked depressed and I think it wasn't the first money she had lost. We went and had a drink and after a bit I decided it was time to dance. Problem was I was the only one in our group that had made this decision. I dragged some poor guy out onto the dance floor and I had a great time.

Up to the room and good nights.

The sitters left at 8:00 so we all said good bye. I found out later that they had a limo. I was glad since they weren't with us on the limo ride there. They were thrilled. Good for them. Honestly the best thing about having a car is that they escort you through the check in process all the way to customs. No lines! It's totally worth the big tip.

We mostly packed and picked up a few really expensive sweat shirts and such. And then we were off to the airport. We had a limo because it's the best way to get 9 people and their luggage around. We had the same service up to customs. Hooray! VIPs to the end.

Our flights were on time. The transfer in Charlotte easy and we were in a rental car in no time. This is how it's supposed to work.

We arrived at Bob's parent's place after 10 but we were glad to be at the days end in a familiar place. The kids were beat and after a bit of coaxing they went to bed.

Today started at Waffle House. Bob would pass out if we didn't to that. And the rest of the day was spent on Lake Lanier on the pontoon boat. It was great. A day of unstructured fun. Every one had fun even though there were no water slides. Actually Brian brought out his boat too and some of us did inner tube rides. Not me for sure. Then out for dinner at Cracker Barrel. Yum.

Tomorrow family pictures, a bit of swimming and a lot of packing. I'll post more pictures when I down load them. It's coming to a close but we're looking forward to being home and seeing our dog.
