Meeting New Family in GA

Well, they're not "new" family, but they are to ME since I've never met them!  Dare I say "old" family? LOL  I don't mean age!  Jason hasn't seen his extended family (3rd and 4th cousins) since he was 10 years old!  So we took a weekend trip down to Mt. Vernon, GA (next to Vidalia, where the sweet onions are from) to meet them and surprise Granddad who was there visiting from WA!  We had a blast and just LOVE our new/old family so much!  On Wed. Jason drove back to GA and picked up Granddad and brought him here to spend a few days.  I cooked a HUGE pot roast dinner with all the fixins and he was in heaven!  We gave him the tour of Beaufort, ate at Foolish Frogs, attended Ava'a soccer game and Jason's recruit graduation.  It was so nice having Granddad here and Brownie REALLY misses his recliner buddy!!  We also watched Avatar, which Granddad had never seen and he LOVED it!  It was so good seeing you Granddad and thanks for visiting!  To our GA family...............we'll be back down soon for some Southern cooking and more of that sweet Southern hospitality!  We just love ya'll!

 Granddad took us to the family cemetery where The Meeks are buried on his side.
