For those who don't know, Tim paid for the two of us to fly down to Georgia to visit his brother and sister in law, Trey and Beth.
We did have a few adventures, but ultimately, this trip was kind of an experience to learn how to live with people I'm not used to living with. I had my own room, but Tim and I shared a bathroom, toothpaste, and a pack of disposable razors, and after the light blew out in there, Tim's toothbrush. ("Wait a second... this isn't mine!")
Some could say tensions were high...
We spent a lot of time with Tim's sister in law, Beth's family, and it was a lot of fun getting to meet people. For example, the first day, we went to Tim's sister in law's sister's future mother in law's house to swim in her salt-water pool. That night, Beth's parents took us out to eat at a restaurant where they knew the waitress... it wasn't long before I found out that Beth's father knows everyone and their mom. The next morning at Johnny V's breakfast joint (We ate there twice that week), the waitress said "Can I get y'all something else? Ketchup? Mustard?!" At the word "mustard" she pointed at Beth's dad, and they both laughed hard at some inside joke. As a man was leaving the restaurant, they shouted back and fourth a greeting and a joke about purchasing the guy's car. Beth's mom got on him, to which he responded, "What? He's got a pretty toy and he won't sell it to me!" This might be a good time to add that he owns an awesome corvette that he took us for rides in. The thing got to 30 in first gear, but he didn't drive as fast for me as he did for Tim, thinking that girls wouldn't be as interested in the speed of it.
There's so much I could say about the people I met, but I remember now that I am writing to entertain, so... back on track!Another highlight was the beach!
It was cloudy, but the ocean was warm. It was 4:00 PM when we had lunch, but we were never hungry. There weren't any sea shells, but I did find a live sand dollar!Beth said "The Griffith boys never grow up!" I realized just how true that is...

Tim looks like a Holocaust victim in that first photo!
