Atlanta/Savannah Day 5

 Our last day, we toured around Atlanta and saw the MLK Museum and his childhood home/church (really cool-worth seeing) and the Centennial Olympic Park. We also went to lunch at the Varsity, the biggest drive-in in the world. We also stopped by to see the Atlanta temple (very small!) and had some downtime at the airbnb. Since the Braves had lost the day before, we decided we would take the kids to another game. This was a Monday night game versus the Athletics. This time, we sat down the first base line near right field. We had a great time at this game; not only did the Braves win, but the kids were more into it because they were winning but they had also learned more about the game and the players the day before. We made them promise they would be on their best behavior the next day when we woke up at 4 am to get to the airport to get home, since we didn't get back from the game until almost 11 PM. They did great, though the next day travel was a bit brutal. 

I made Devin go running with me here too. Not nearly as pretty as Savannah, but still cool to run around in a new city

                                        

Atlanta/Savannah Day 4

 Day 4, we woke up at the crack of dawn in order to make the 4 hour drive back to Atlanta. We wanted to be to the Braves Stadium as soon as it opens- after all, this is why we planned this trip! We got there just after it opened and enjoyed walking around and taking in the stadium before we settled in for the game. We had seats above home plate, near the announcer's booths. It was kind of fun to watch the announcers too because I listen to them on TV all the time. The Braves sadly lost this game, those fools, but everyone had a great time. They played against the Royals. After the game (it was a day game), we drove to our new airbnb and on the way stopped to eat at Waffle House, something none of us had every experienced, but figured we should while we were in the south. It was not bad. We stayed up late on several nights, including this one, playing our favorite game- the Crew. The airbnb had this amazing rooftop patio with a tv, couches, and a perfect table for games. 

Tons of pictures of the Braves game to come, cause ya know. Seeing our favorite team at their home stadium with all our kids, plus Jen & Steve and their kids = dream come true.

Atlanta/Savannah Trip Day 3

 On day 3, we drove into South Carolina and went to Hilton Head. Since we were so close to the border, it was a no brainer-- we needed another state to add to our photo map (haha) and Jen and I had been there on a girl's trip in 2020 and had a blast. We saw the lighthouse and marina area, did a little shopping, then had lunch and rented bikes to ride around. Jace couldn't ride due to his recent TBI, so Devin took one for the team and stayed with him and Flor. They followed us around in the van, which was a real blast I am sure. But Jace feels like he got the good end of the deal because they went to a pastry shop and ate a bunch of pastries while waiting for us. So win/win. Bike riding was a great way to see the island and we had a blast. After our return to Savannah, the adults went out to dinner while the kids fended for themselves with spaghetti. 

And now, some photos :)

Atlanta/Savannah Day 2

 Day 2 was low-key and spent at nearby Tybee Beach and doing a dolphin tour in the same area. The kids loved being on the beach & the weather was perfect. They even saw a dead hammerhead shark 😬. We saw a lot of dolphins on our tour, so that was fun too.

Now for a slew of pictures.

You know you're tired when...

I made Devin run 3 miles with me before everyone woke up. It was very pretty.

We clearly love a good jumping picture
