Georgia on my mind...

One of our very good friends, Brett, was married last Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. Nathan and I made the cross-country trip on an overnight flight...longer than it should have been thanks to Denver's "high-winds." We arrived Thursday morning at 6am in Atlanta, rented a car, and drove three hours to Savannah. I am a pretty big Gone with the Wind fan, so it was pretty exciting to visit "The South." We stayed in a beautiful old hotel, the Marshall house, once used as a hospital during the civil war. We walked all over Savannah, taking in the sights and the history.

The Colonial Cemetery, with grave sites dating back to the Revolutionary War.

The First African Baptist Church.

Christ Church, where John Wesley preached for a few years and started a Sunday School.

Our hotel, The Marshall House.

The Savannah Cotton exchange is one of the oldest buildings in the city.

River Street was beautiful at night, with lots of street entertainers and yummy candy shops.

On Friday morning we headed back north to Atlanta. The Testostertones practiced, singing together for the first time in a few years! The rehearsal and dinner were fun. Brett and Julie set us up in a friend of the family's home. Mike and Brenda were the ultimate hosts, really showing us what Southern hospitality is all about.

Singing a little "Julie lou."

Mike and Ryan were the only other Greeley friends to make the trip and we had a great time hanging out with them. Sunday, after the wedding, we spent the day exploring the city of Atlanta together. (When Mike sends me the pictures there will be an update.)

The big day!

Julie was a beautiful bride.

Nathan's best man toast was perfect. :)

The Testostertones reunion concert.

Our wonderful hosts. We had a great time getting to know Mike and Brenda...and Rudy! (their dog)
