Every year on Columbus Day weekend my dad's side of the family has a family reunion of sorts in a small town in Georgia. My dad's cousin (that makes him, what?? Sydney's third cousin??) owns a large piece of property in Menlo, Georgia. Blake and I have enjoyed going to the reunion several years since we have been married. It is definitely a serene place- somewhere you can go and completely relax and forget your worries. We are so glad we got to bring Sydney this year, especially since she was able to meet several family members she had not yet met.
We decided to fly since we were able to get a great deal on airfare as well as a rental car. Not to mention the fact that Sydney isn't exactly the best long distance car rider. Sydney did great on the flight- 45 minutes went fast! She was completely exhausted by the time we landed and even fell asleep in the stroller while waiting for us to get the rental car.

While in Georgia, we enjoyed visiting with family, eating (LOTS) of good food, and showing off Sydney. Sydney had a blast spending time with her Nana and Grampa and meeting new aunts, uncles, and cousins. She especially enjoyed meeting cousins more (sort of) her size. She was the center of attention and ate up every minute!

I have to say, it's wonderful seeing family, but it's also nice visiting such a beautiful place.
