The cardinal rule of blogging, is that you must Blog.

And every single blog in existence and that will come of existence has this post.

We were too busy. I forgot. Something came up. Be thankful for what you do get to read, you non-paying person, you. It’s not a job!

We’ll try harder. Or at least I will. Even if it is just a quick picture here or there.

Truth be told, it is a job. Pay sucks tho. And because of that, sometimes, real life intervenes.

There has been a lot going on in the last few weeks.

We went to Eufaula, Alabama for a cousin’s Wedding. Jason ‘Bob’ Dorgan and Catherine Garrison finally got married (like I’m one to talk about that!!!). They had a much more involved wedding than we did, however.

It seemed like the entire town of Eufaula was involved, and almost for certain, the entire hotel that we stayed at was booked out for the Wedding. We went down on Thursday evening, to maximize the amount of time that the kids weren’t in the car between trips. It’s a good 7 hours from Franklin.

We had a good time. The Kids enjoyed (in moderation) the pool at the hotel. They had an unusual configuration. Indoor pool, minus heater. Spa with VERY good heater. Combination to provide a chilly pool (supposed to be refreshing – Succeeding really only in causing heart failure when jumping in). The kids would get in, and swim and play, and chatter their teeth. They would then proceed to convince us that we needed to get in the ‘little’ pool. Nothing will kill you quicker than sitting in a hot spa, and then having to jump into the chilly main pool to follow the kids.

The wedding was fabulous, on the side of a lake in Eufaula. Bus service (on the BIG tour buses) was provided, and golf cart service was provided from the buses to the site. The first worked quite well, the second … Well, it would have helped if they had charged all of the carts first.

Rain stayed off until immediately AFTER the wedding, but not before everyone made it back to the buses to go to the reception. That was fun, herding the kids between raindrops (to great effect).
Reception was at the Eufaula Country club, and both kids enjoyed the dance floor quite well, up until the meltdown that followed quite shortly. This resulted in us returning to the hotel early, although Mary was amused by the party seating on the bus.
Brunch and review of pictures followed, and then it was time for us to head back… But not without a surprise for the kids…
