Meeting Cousins for the 1st Time!

The drive from St. Marys, Georgia to Jacksonville, Florida was about 40 miles along I-95.  We get to our cousin's apartment, ditch our gear, and freshen up before going to his brother's house for dinner.  Meeting a clan of brothers and sisters plus their families was overwhelming especially since I have never met them before.  They were all transplants from the Big Island of Hawaii.  My cousin Mar knew them all because she used to spend summer vacations on the Big Island.  It was such a warm welcome but I was at a loss for words because I was trying to remember all their names.  They really went all out for dinner...fresh Florida crab and fish...which my outdoorsy cousins caught themselves.  After a long evening of getting to know each other, we headed back to my cousin's apartment for the night.
