6 Hour Drive - Sure - Why Not?

Whenever I remember our road trip to Atlanta, I realize that I really do have amazing children.  Look at this face - does it look like he just spent 6 miserable hours in the car?

Aunt Lauren has been asking us to come visit her in Atlanta for years now.  She comes home all the time and just once, wanted us to come see her.  So, we packed up the car, and drove to Atlanta.  Almost 6 1/2 hours later, we finally made it.  Atlanta traffic is terrible!!!  Callie and Cade were great in the car though.  I was more irritated with the traffic than them.  :)  And Bryan had to put up with all of us.  Callie was in the middle of potty training, so we had to stop multiple times for her to try to go potty.  But she was still in the early stages, and didn't like to go in bathrooms that were not at her house.  But we survived the weekend with only a few accidents in the car!

We stayed in a wonderful hotel, and the kiddos had so much fun snuggling in the big beds.

On Saturday morning, we drove out to Lilburn to visit Mama Betty.  It is so awesome to have 5 generations all in the same room!  She was so excited to see how much Callie had grown and to meet Cade-man!

Mama Gerry and Grandad came over to see us while we were there.  Cade gave Mama big smiles!

And Callie was so excited to get presents.

And of course, let's not forget that Baby made the trip!  (She had gotten a bath in the washing machine and a new outfit after swimming in the lake at Santee.)

We squeezed in lunch at one of Lauren's favorite mexican restaurants, Tin Lizzy's, and then made it to the Aquarium just in time for the Dolphin Show.  Callie absolutely loved it!  She was standing up on Bryan's lap clapping and saying, "More, More!"

She also really enjoyed seeing all of the fish and her attempt to say the word "fish" is adorable.

It was a pretty exhausting day, we fit a lot in, and we had a great time!

So, it will be along time before we make the drive back to Atlanta, but it was a great weekend and I'm so glad we went.  Thanks for having us, Aunt LaLa, and for giving us a fun-filled weekend!
