We're Baaack!

On our way to the beach we made a special stop. Dan's best friend and favorite hunting buddy was a man named Wesley. We still keep in touch with him and his family. They were so generous as to let us use their beach condo. On our way there we spent the first night of our trip at their house in Bainbridge, GA. After the long car ride David wanted to play outside where he quickly learned the word "gnat". We used to live in Statesboro, and I don't miss those pesky bugs one bit! Once Wesley got home from work, he and his son Trip took us to ride their jet skis on the Flint River. Jason drove David who wasn't afraid one bit. When Jason would stop David would yell "ready, set, gooooo" so they would start moving again. Trip taught me how to drive and it was pretty fun-I actually preferred to drive than ride as a comfortable top speed for me was about 35 miles an hour ; ) On the last ride of the day David took over the handles and put the safety cord around his wrist- he had watched us and became an old pro! When we got back to their house Miss Kriss had prepared a wonderful meal for us and we ate it outside with fans blowing to keep us cool and keep those darn gnats away. David went to bed extra late that night as Jason was enjoying seeing his son interact with his father's best friend...to him it was a glimpse of what his dad would have looked like...

They were watching the outdoor channel.

Chip...and Charlie.
Like father...
Like Son.

David took to Wesley immediately which he seldom does with anyone he hasn't met. Mr. Wesley told us after David went to bed that he didn't have any urge to have grandchildren until he met David. What a compliment! The next morning we set off for the beach...
