Callaway in Retrospect

How How Cherokee Expedition!

Now that we have had time to get back to our normal routines and the water is drying up, I wanted to take some time and talk about our Callaway Gardens Rendezvous.

General Thoughts

First, I hope that, in spite of the weather, everyone had a great time.  I know that I did. In one way it forced me to spend even more time with the kids. Because we were “cottage bound” after the ceremony, I ended up just hanging out with my kids and playing games. It was not the normal running around the cottages while the dads gather for sports or other games and social time but I was pleasantly surprised that the kids reported to mom that it was a great weekend and they were glad that sports cancellations allowed them more time in Callaway.

Your experiences may have varied, but I think the weather permitted us plenty of time on Saturday for biking, gardens, and butterflies and for those that didn’t leave early on Sunday, the morning and early afternoon weather turned out to be great!

Induction Ceremony

We timed it perfectly. The weather held off and the alternate venue (might become the permanent one) worked out well.  Having to do most of the talking made me notice that the script could use a little updating and possibly shortening in areas.  Our program continues to grow and change so the ceremony should too.

I hope that everyone that attended had a great time. For those of you that could not make it, you were missed. If you have any comments (good or constructive criticism) please share them with all of us in the comments of this post.
Details of our next event will be posted soon. Keep an eye out and hope to see you all there!

*UPDATE: Fall Camping Site is posted! HERE
