Day 01 09.18.09

Heyo!

Welcome to our blog! This is what we will use to keep track of our travels, where we go, what we do and who we see!

So, this is technically day 02, however there was not time to blog yesterday. We had a pleasant drive up to Atlanta [even though it somehow took us 9 hours instead of 7, we're starting to see a pattern here!] with just a hiccup of minor car troubles that we got taken care of in the morning. Richard got a good amount of work done while I drove for the first half of the trip and I got to test out the air mattress in the back of the van when it was Richard's turn to drive. It was not half bad to take a snooze back there!

Driving through Atlanta is pretty cool. In comparison with Orlando, the architecture is pretty cool for the most part. The interstate was surprisingly free of traffic despite us driving through around 6pm.

We got in on Aunt Pat's bday unbeknownst to us, but it worked out well because all of her and Bill's children we're here to both greet us and celebrate the recent birthdays! Sara, Ally, and Zach were here, as well as Jesse and Mary. We had a lovely dinner and some yummy cheesecake to celebrate Pat, Mary, and Richard's birthday!

We went to 3 different places today to find a digital camera that would have performance and a nice price on it. Along the way we met Hunter who worked in the Wal-mart photo dept. He was very informative and let me know about awesome cameras that they didn't even sell in the store. What a cool kid. I ended up buying a cheapy Nikon point and shoot camera for around a $100. I plan to get a DSLR asap to shoot with as soon as p0ssible, but I think I can find a better deal on teh internets. Im going to work something out.

Alright! Day 01 and Day 02 are going well! See ya next time!
