Our Trip to Atlanta

On Monday morning the kids and I packed up the car and headed to pick up my friend Kim and her daughter Ana! (Of course Curtis was knee deep with work, so he had to sit out this trip.) We were Atlanta bound!  The kids watched lots of movies and played games as we traveled for 5 hours!! 


Our first stop was The American Girl store!  For those of you who have not visited one of these stores, they are amazing!  It is every girls dream store.  They make everything for these dolls!  McKinley got the "Feel better kit" which included a arm cast and a leg cast, crutches, ice pack, and an arm wrap!  Curtis asked her when she got home had she been abusing her dolls!  She also got a bathing suit, cover-up, beach bag, towel and sunglasses for her doll!  She had saved some of her birthday money so was able to buy some new things for her doll!  Of course Kit went along for the ride to Atlanta!  Ethan was a little impressed with the store as well!  We had lunch at the American Girl Bistro!





Check out the casts!!!


Ready to check- out!

We also went to a Braves game!  This was Ethan's big thing!  He has learned so much about baseball and loves to watch it, even on TV.  He was really into the game!  The game went on for 19 innings!  Of course we didn't stay because it didn't get over until 1 am!  This was a great experience for everyone!










We also visited the Coke Musuem in downtown Atlanta!  The kids loved this place!  We learned so much about how coke is bottled and how it originated in Atlanta, Georgia.  I even learned some cool facts about Coke!  We watched a cool 4-D show as well!  The tasting room was what the kids liked best!  They got to taste all kinds of Coke products from all around the world!  You would have thought that they had never tasted Coke before! They were so excited and tasted until they were SOOOO full!








So glad to be back home!  Today we just laid around and caught up on the laundry!
