Hampton, GA/Atlanta -- Easter Sunday Apr 12th

Woke up at Clint's (my father) about 11, which is pretty good considering I was up until 4 in the am. Showered, and went outside to oversee some chores being done around the house. I took some pics, Clint showered, and we got ready to go to his sister's house for an easter get together. I met new cousins, second cousins, aunts, uncles, and all sorts of new people. They were all cool, and I told them I would come visit just hear them talk to each other with their Southern accents. There were only two little kids, and one was two months old, so we had an easter egg hunt for my 5 year old second cousin Madison. She found them all. The dogs found some too. We ate quite the spread of two types of potato salad, crab pasta, pulled pork, deviled eggs, beans, and mac and cheese. It was an excellent Southern home cooked pot luck meal. For dessert, there was apple pie, pineapple cake, brownies and ice cream. I tried to ration myself, but still ended up over doing it. The occasion was at Clint's niece's house, Dawn. Dawn and Steve had a nice decorating motif of retro soda signs and refrigerators. They had a lovely large home, and a huge backyard. The neighbors are sort of trashy and inconsiderate, but they didn't bother us this day. I busted out the camera, and forced them to take some pictures, even though it didn't seem as if they were usually camera people. Sean commented that those were his 3 pictures for the year. But we all got along great. After that, Clint, Kathy and I headed downtown to drive around and take pictures. They don't go into the city very often and it was the first time they had seen a lot of what we saw, as well as myself, obviously. We drove around for a couple hours, then came home, watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and relaxed. Clint has to be up at 530 tomorrow, and as I never get up that early, we said our goodbyes tonight. Had a good little heart to heart and vowed to make it less than 28 years until we see each other next. He tried to give me a plethera of shoes and clothes, and I declined due to the fact that I have way too much shit I don't need already. I saw a really cool museum exhibit that features plasticized human bodies that I may hit up in ATL tomorrow, but after that, I'm onto Savannah!! Can't wait. Good night, ya'll, hope you had a good easter. ps.. I picked up a Southern accent in speech and typing as well...ya'll.
