We spent most of our week in Atlanta with Aunt Nancy, Uncle Mac, and my cousins. We all had a great time together talking and playing games. Little Kid loved our cousins Daniel and Andrew, and Daniel and Andrew were happy to play with him. We all spent a lot of time in the basement playing foosball and other things.

On Friday, we celebrated Passover by having a Seder at their house. A Seder is a service and meal on the first night of Passover. The food was awesome, and the dessert was even better. We had macaroons, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and chocolate covered matzah. Yum!

We spent our last day in Atlanta downtown by ourselves. In the morning, we went to The Center For Civil and Human Rights, a museum about the Civil Rights Movement and other human rights. We learned about the 1963 March on Washington and other protests against segregation. Afterwards, we had a picnic lunch and went to Emory, where Ma had gone to college. Ma was very surprised to see how much the campus had changed. Tons of new buildings had been added, and Ma’s dorm room had been torn down. We walked around campus a bit, and we explored Lulllwater Park, which Ma used to go to when she was in college. The park was beautiful.

The next day, we went to North Georgia.

After three months in Florida, we believe (hope!) that it is finally warm enough to start heading north ….

After our visit to the east coast, we were happy to be back at the warm beach of Saint George Island. We spent the week doing what we did at every beach: burying Little Kid, building sand castles, flying our kite, playing in the water, and running around like lunatics.

One day, when we were at the beach, somebody caught a huge shark. By huge, I mean eighty two inches long, 220 pounds! It was so cool. When the man who caught it was measuring it, the shark hit him with it’s tail fin. Awesome!

On our way to the beach, we saw some people with binoculars, and we stopped to ask what they were looking at. They said that there was an owl nest with babies. That explained the owl we kept hearing! Another day we came back with our own binoculars. The babies were so cute! They were just little white balls of fluff.

We also spent some time at the bay. The bay was beautiful, and the shallow water was fun to explore. We found lots of hermit crabs. Now, we are going to Atlanta.
