Long Weekend in Atlanta

The last weekend of October took Dan and me to Atlanta.

The  iPhone photos don't do our weekend justice but it is documented nonetheless.

We went to the Atlanta Aquarium in midtown and it didn't disappoint.

I could have sat in front of the enormous glass display for hours watching the sharks and fish,

 but we had a schedule to keep.

 I personally favor the Beluga Whales. They are quite flirtatious and

interactive for aquatic life.

Next stop, the New World of Coke...our kids personal favorite.

The place is brand new since we moved and it is always fun.

 We took in the new 4-D movie geared toward the younger crowd.

 Something new this trip was visiting the Atlanta History Museum in

the Buckhead area of the city. Right in the middle of urban Atlanta is a

less known wooded oasis that hosts an old farm from the mid 1800's and 

a mansion from the early twentieth century.

The weather and foliage were absolutely perfect.

We wandered through the indoor and outdoor exhibits, amazed that 

we walked on former Civil War battlefields.

We ventured down memory lane (Missendell Lane actually) to drive by our old house.

Oh man, such wonderful memories we have here. Hard times for sure with such a major move and a young family in tow, but also some of the best years of our lives.

Thanks Witkins for a fun evening in Peachtree Corners!

 We had to attend the BYU vs. Georgia Tech football game. We met up with 

dear friends and loved seeing so many familiar faces from the Roswell Stake.

The setting was beautiful and cheering with the minority group was a lot of fun.

I have to admit that Dan had to twist my arm to go so far for such a quick trip, especially after

being gone every weekend in October. However, it was well worth it and I can't wait to visit again.
