We seem to be settling into spring and fall visits to our Florida family. Our stays include 2 weekends so we can watch the boys play sports and can spend more time with the family. This first post covers our drive south and our time with them. The next 4 posts cover some exploring we did on this trip and what we came home to.
At 5:00 a.m. we took off. Lots of cars were already on the road, but we all kept moving.
While many states may want to have the title of The Largest Peanut, the King of Giant Peanuts is actually along Interstate 75 near Ashburn (south Georgia). By state law it is the Official Peanut Monument of Georgia and cannot be blocked from public view. The original statue was on a cylindrical brick perch that was knocked down during Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018. Rebuilt (in steel), it was restored to its spot in June 2023.

One night our son Brian dropped off the grans so he and Jana could go out for dinner.

Throughout the year, the boys are involved in sports. Because it’s so hot in the summer, basketball teams are really popular for the Saturday league games.
What really impresses me about the boys when they play sports is their intensity. They always keep their eyes on the ball and stay in the game.
On Sunday afternoons before it gets too hot in the summer, the boys play soccer or flag football. This spring Colson was invited to play with the senior team made up of coaches, staff, and other players.
When the lead coach can’t make the game, Brian takes over and coaches with Cash.
We so enjoy our time with this family and look forward to our next get-together in the fall. Now on to some sightseeing that we did during the week when the family was working and going to school.
