I am definitely running behind on the blog, as we
have been home a week already and still have not completed our journal of our
trip to Georgia. I am behind because as soon
as we returned home, we began our role as grandparent care givers to Victoria
and Nico. Our daughter had to return to her second grade classroom,
so we have started watching over our grandkids until Nico is old enough in our
collective minds to start daycare. This
is enjoyable but somewhat tiring duty.
It is very clear why young people have children, they have the energy to
keep up with them.
Back to our travels in Georgia. After leaving High Falls State Park, we
entered the Atlanta Speedway grounds and were parked by a very well organized
parking crew directly outside of turn one.
We were going to share the activities with around 5000 fellow Good Sam
members .
There was a lot of new model RV's available for
rubbernecking along with a number of used units. There was a large Camping World store (owned
by Good Sam) along with two additional buildings full of vendors selling all the latest
RV gear they hoped we could not do without.
We sat in on several of the seminars with Anneke
particularly enjoying the one by the Food Channel chef Bob Blumer She even bought one of his books.
We just happened to catch a show by a dog training
group called the K9 Kings flying dog show.
It was very interesting and the dogs were indeed well trained. I fear there is no hope for Halley in that
regard. Her only chance is if they had a
category for most spoiled.
The main attraction for us was the
entertainment. The two headliners were
The Beach Boys and Vince Gill. We
enjoyed both shows. On Saturday, the
sunset over the speedway was really wonderful. After sundown, there was a nice
fireworks display viewed from the grandstands.
This was our second Good Sam Rally and we found both
to be well organized and enjoyable.

Yes!! Spoiled dogs, I don't have the inclination or wherewithal of character I guess to MAKE Luci do what I want her to :(
Kudoes to you for being caring grandparents!!!
The Rally looks like fun, but I'm not sure I could deal with the crowds. Nico is beautiful - those eyes are stunning. Dog shows let you know what dogs are capable of doing, but most dog owners are jumping through hoops for their dogs rather than the other way around!
That is most definitely an awful lot of RVs in a very small area. It's even more packed that Quartzsite ever has been.
WOW 5000, that's way too many folks for me but it looks like you had a very good time. I can sympathize with being behind on the blog. I'm catching up by doing an entire week in one post until I get to now. LOL It's not too hard since we arent' actually doing anything of interest or importance unlike the importance of watching grandchildren.
Sounds like you really had a fun time. Couldn't you find anything at the Camping World display you couldn't live without.
Nice to see you had a good time and the weather looks like it was great.
A few too many in the crowd for me too I'm afraid. There was a time when I didn't mind it too much.
Have fun with those little guys.
Love the hair in the first pic too.
I think being grandparents, always overrides doing a blog.
I can't even image how one begins to plan an event for 5000 people. Looks like you two had a great time and that is the bottom like.
That's a lot of RV's! I think I would get lost in a crowd that large!
I think it would sure be easy to forget where you parked the rig in a crowd that size.
What a huge rally - looked like fun and well organized too.
Good on you guys for looking after the grandkids until they're a little older. It's a sacrifice but one that's worth it in the end.
So how many of the original Beach Boys are left and do they use walkers? ;c)
Glad you've enjoyed two GS rallies, we have to give one a try some day.
I sure would have loved to see that dog show. It is amazing what they can do.
I sure hear ya on why the young have the children lol! I did a lot of babysitting when my grands were little and loved every minute but it sure was tiring. Now they are old enough to take care of me haha!!
Sounds like a really good time! I'll have to put a rally like that on my to-do list.
That is a lot of rigs, we might go to a smaller rally first.
How in the world do they ever park all those rv's? It looks like it could be mass chaos.
