I don't know what it is about odd-numbered years but I never quite get into remembering them-like even towards the end of 2011 I still had to stop and think of what year it was. Low and behold the second it turns to 2012 I feel like it's always been 2012 and am instantly ok with it. Clearly I prefer even numbers to odd or something.
We traveled to Georgia for Christmas this year and had a great time. Sadly I barely had come down with something the day before we left so I was pretty out of it through Christmas day. Christmas night was spent at a local ER (the only place open) getting some antibiotics and the rest of the trip was spent feeling a heck of a lot better :) Honestly can say it was the first Christmas I was ever sick for.
But we did lots of fun things other than laying around and blowing our noses:
We went to the Atlanta Museum of Art-they had a cool exhibit Picasso to Warhol. One of my favorites was probably a statue in their permanent collection pictured below-so amazing how they get stone to look like delicate cloth! There was a cool statue outside that we all posed with.
After the museum we went to the Varsity which apparently is famous for being the biggest drive-in. The food was ok but cool to say we've been there.
Later in the week frank, don, code,and I visited the family in Brunswick as well as grandpa Nolden's grave along the way. It was fun going back to the beach, ice cream shop, and the shell shop. Walking along the beach we found some interesting critters too:
3 generations of Noldens:
Along with lots of games of zion's check, a Lord of the Rings marathon, and lots of good food we had a blast in Georgia!
The picture of the statue with the veil was incredible! I can't even imagine how they could do that. Truely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI also love that statue! I never think about art or the fact that I like it, but then someone like you shows me something like that, and I want to run to the nearest museum. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteYou should!! Y'all have SUCH a good museum by you too! I miss the springville museum so much AND it's free-very rare to find in Houston :( and they're open later on Monday's for FHE I think
