We're Back Up and Running!

We survived!!! Matt made it through the test and our life is somewhat back to normal (whatever that is these days!) We had a wonderful weekend in Atlanta. Matt said the test went well. He won't know anything about passing it for a couple of months but I know he passed with flying colors (he is so smart!) We are now back to real life and trying to play catch up on everything that has been put off for the last few months. Hopefully there will be lots of updates coming with great info from us as we weed through our to do list! Here is the run down on our trip to Atlanta. The pictures are sort of out of order but I thought I would just go with it!

We watched the awesome AU TN game in our room Saturday night. It was a great game!!



No trip to Atlanta is complete without a stop at the Varsity for lunch and Ben loved it. He ate 2 hot dogs!

Friday night before the test Matt wanted to eat at Cheesecake Factory and it is soooo good! Here are Ben and Matt enjoying a piece of cheesecake!
We also had to eat at Hard Rock Cafe (it was across the street from our hotel). It was Ben's first Hard Rock experience and he thought it was "loud." We bought Kate a onesie because we bought Ben one before he was born. Ben's was from Athens Greece so it was a little cooler but Kate will know we were thinking of her on the trip.

We stayed at the fabulous Westin Peachtree Plaza on the 61st floor. Yes way up high in the sky. Ben loved hanging over the window looking out on the city. It about gave me a heart attack.

Sunday morning we went to the Atlanta Zoo which was tons of fun. Ben is so into animals these days and loves zoos! Here is the fun carousel ride!

Ben as a panda!

The Atlanta Zoo really has some awesome animals and it wasn't too big which was nice. They have Pandas which was awesome!!!!! I love Pandas! They were so much fun to watch.

My favorite animal is the flamingo so we had to get a picture!

We are trying to get Ben's picture on the steps of all the states capital's so here is the Georgia picture.


On Saturday while Matt was taking his test Ben and I braved the walk down to the Children's Museum. Ben had a blast playing and enjoying the fun!

Sunday after the zoo we went to the World of Coke! It was a blast!!!!! I wasn't sure how Ben would do but he loved the movies and trying all the different cokes! I would highly recommend it!
My cutie with the Coke bear! Blame it on hormones but I bought the $30 pictures they sold. That is so unlike me!
Well, that was our trip. It was fun. It was a great last getaway for the 3 of us.
