Unusually, we did not travel over Christmas this year. We had some visitors in Duluth. The McMullens had a good visit. We did a few activities: Ian and Douglas got to drive the Honda S2000--- Douglas and I did some drone fun at a construction site... I almost got the truck stuck. Four Wheel Drive saved the day, but the truck got quite muddy.--- Visited the huge Chinese Market nearby--- Went to the Georgia Aquarium--- Went to the original Varsity restarant downtown--- Rode the MARTA---
