Georgia on My Mind (Shout Out of the Day)

Tesser, Brad, Liz & Co. get the shout out of the day today. Last year I made the trip to Florida/Georgia for spring break. It was full of fun including a weekend in Orlando with Jorgie and Daryn, 24 hours in Clermont with Bobby and the Bowman family, a St. Paddy's Day weekend in Savannah with the Beattie/Bell's and a Saturday trip to the hospital since I became deathly ill while on vacation. The St. Patrick's Day weekend was full of typical wonderful, amazing, heavenly Beattie cooked food and fun nights on the town.

This Friday is St. Patrick's Day and I was hoping to be able to make it to Savannah again. Obviously, with the new job, that won't be happening. I talked with Tess last night and she is getting ready for the big weekend and I also spoke with Brad who is driving to Savannah from Atlanta today. I'm bummed that I won't be there because I had so much fun last year (outside of the visit to the hospital). So just to feel a little bit more sorry for myself, I've decided to add some pictures from last year's trip:

This is me and Chris, another one of Tess' bros.










This is Tess with Jake, Tess and Russ' dog.









I guess I'm mostly just lamenting the loss of my spring break in general which has included:

* Disaster relief in Mississippi and a visit to New Orleans
* A pitstop in Nashville on the way to a week in Atlanta (which included a concert at the Tabernacle that prompted Jenny and I to develop love for a band called the Hippos and also was where the much publicized meeting of Mr. Bobby Bowman occured)
* Spain
* Georgia/Florida
