My 1st blog post here was 1 year ago today!
Don't have any trips planned to look forward to yet for the new year, but we're ending the year/starting out the new year with a long vacation in Florida.
We left Mom & Dad's place in Steinhatchee last night and went to Mom & Dad's place in Hudson, where it was alot warmer.
Today we are at my sister's getting ready to ring in the New Year!! (If I can stay awake that long, haha)

Big Fish
Dad's friends came, and he took them and John out fishing. John caught the biggest fish, a big Grouper. They also caught a bunch of black Bass, and Mom fried them up for dinner. Delish!
It's still cold, hasn't gotten much over 50* the whole time we're here, but feels colder than that. We got out yesterday and went to see the new Pier, but hurried back to the car to get out of the chill wind.

Brrrrr!!!!!
Traveling is definately better on Christmas Day, than the day after. We left home about 9:30am, and arrived at Mom & Dad's around before 5:00pm.
The weather was nice, sunny and warm. Mom had a box fan going, and had to open the windows - Now that's what I'm talking about!!
We had lasagne for dinner, and opened presents and spent the evening playing cards and domino games.
The cold caught up with us that night. Daddy came to wake us up the next morning and opening the door was like opening a refrigerator. He was wearing a winter coat. It was cold all day, we couldn't even get out to go walking or fishing.
Mom cooked a big dinner of Ham and okra, green beans, fried squash, mashed potaoes, etc. After we ate my sister's family packed up and went home. We had planned to leave and go on down to my parents' other place, but Dad said they were going out fishing the next day, so we stayed over another night. No real hurry to go anywhere I guess. Especially since there's internet here.
Spent the day hanging out inside reading and playing games and eating all day.
John got up at 6am this morning to get ready to go fishing. Don't know what time they left. It had rained when I came to the house. Still very chilly, only 48* at noon today.
I think it's supposed to warm up again about Wednesday. I hope so! I could have stayed home for cold.

This weekend we took another little trip back up to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
First we visited Hamilton Place Mall. I just enjoy going to a Mall at Christmas, and seeing all the lovely decorations and all the shoppers with their shopping bags. HPM didn't disappoint.
And they had a Pretzel Time!! Horribly expensive, but we sure have missed those delicious pretzel bites.
Later that evening we drove up to Rock City, for the Enchanted Garden of Lights.
It had stopped raining, and was just chilly enough to seem Christmasy, but not so cold to be miserable.
The lights and displays were pretty, although not as pretty as the first time we went a few years I didn't think.
Afterwards we got some delicious fudge from the Fudge Kitchen.
It was a nice Christmasy-time Family Outing.
A funny note to the story is, we were walking along and Ryan got a text message from a pal of his from school. The boy had sent a picture of some spot at Rock City....having no idea that we were there at the same time. Ryan messaged him back a picture of where we were at, and turned out he was just not far behind us. LOL!

Everything was so colorful and bright!
