Jacob, Mom, and I ventured down to Bowman, Georgia June 11-15th to visit family. Normally the car ride takes approximately 6 1/2 hours. However, the trip took 9 hours due to bad weather, Bonnaroo, Atlanta rush hour, and Jacob's eating schedule. Our first pit stop was a few miles before Manchester. It was pouring down rain and the gas station had shut down their bathrooms and had Porta Johns in the parking lot because of Bonnaroo. (For those of you who don't know, Bonnarroo is a music festival held on a rural Tennessee farm that attracts drugs and people who don't like to use indoor plumbing.) The gas station attendent was not sympathetic to us having a baby in the rain so we got to use the same facilities as the questionable Bonnaroo clientelle. Lovely.....
Our next stop was because of the terrible weather - we literally could not see the road ahead of us. We pulled off at a gas station and were refused the bathroom once again because the electricity was off. You would think a baby and grandmother would up your chances on people being nice but you'd be wrong! After all this hooplah we hit Atlanta at 4:30pm so Mom and I got to remember the joys of rush hour in Atlanta. Fortunately we made it safely to Nanny's and had a wonderful few days visiting with family and introducing Jacob to the family members he hadn't met.
