Greg & Camille Go Bike

We hopped in the rental car and drove more than three hundred miles to Acworth, GA, Camille's hometown. Camille's parents had graciously invited us to join them for the holiday weekend. We were joined by her two sisters, Sophia and Larissa, and the delightful puppy Luna. We spent several days relaxing, cooking, chatting, playing games and hiking.

The centerpiece of Thanksgiving dinner was a non-traditional but delicious spread of various homemade dumplings along with a wonderful variety of sides. Other highlights of our stay included hikes at a few local parks, a hike at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park with Camille's mom Czarina, a nail biting chess match between Greg and Camille's dad George and a day trip into Atlanta where we explored the Georgia Aquarium, National Center for Civil and Human Rights and wandered the city. Sophia and Luna sent us off with a pleasant hike on the East Palisades trail, eventually discovering a copse of bamboo trees safely tucked away at the far end of the trail.
