  
On Father's Day 2001, we drove the boys to Camp Dixie in Clayton, Georgia for their third year of camping with longtime friends Jordan and Jason Roe. Dixie is a small, rustic camp nestled among Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron, and reminds me of Green Cove in NC, where I spent 6 happy summers.

After a pretty 2+ hour drive into the North Georgia mountains, we arrive at Camp Dixie. Frank and the boys pose on the bridge by Lake Dixie |

Drew meets his cabin counselor, Zack, the boys greet longtime counselor Jason , and they load their gear into the pickup truck for transport to the cabins. |
  
Jason, Jordan and Christy Roe arrive in the camp area. Steve is behind handling the gear. |
  
Jason shows bunkmates Drew and Jordan to Cabin One, which bears a map with key landmarks including Mt. Drew and Jordan Lake. |
  
Bunkmates John and Jason prepare to cut loose in Cabin Three with counselor Steven. |
 
Cabin view: Each cabin has a lower level for the boys' effects and an upper level for sleeping. Notice a rare sight: teenage boys making a bed! |
  
All settled in, the campers get ready for a week of fun. |
  
On the way home, Frank and Donna stopped at nearby Dillard House for a Sunday dinner feast. Check out the view from our table! Dillard House is a renowned family-style restaurant acclaimed by USA Today as one of the "50 Great Plates in America." |
