We arrived at Pine Mountain Campground around 4:00 on Tuesday only to discover that we were out of LP, so right back to the office after checking in to get the tanks filled up. No big deal, I am not going to let it bother me. That night, as planned, we made the short drive to Columbus to see the Columbus Cottonmouths, a minor league hockey team, take on the Florida Seals. The Cottonmouths won after coming from behind. This was Kelly's first hockey game, but based on her reaction, it might not be her last! On Wednesday, the reason for the trip affter all, Kelly had to work so I dropped her off at the hospital where she was to take a deposition. It actually cancelled, but we decided to stay around since we were planning a few things to do. Before they decided to cancel, I had already headed to the Port Columbus National Civil War Naval Museum. Kelly and I had both been before, but I had heard that they had added a squished penny machine so I stopped by. They had and I picked up a complete set. That night, after Kelly finished up, we went to Callaway Gardens for the Festival of Lights. This was incredible! An eight-mile drive through the park with 1000's of lights. They even have a little shopping and craft area. We picked up some personalized ornaments for the camper tree and enjoyed some hot coffee and homemade treats. On Thursday, we stayed around Pine Mountain visiting the antique shops. We ate lunch at the Callaway Country Store and then headed back to camp for an afternoon siesta. Kelly had already checked in with work and was scheduled off on Friday. Then the phone rang. They needed Kelly to cover a job in Macon, Georgia. Before she had the chance to panic, I had decided that instead of hurring home and her turning around to head back in the morning, we would just stay an extra night in Macon.
