Atlanta

So we took a mini family vacation over Memorial Day weekend.  We had so much fun but I quickly found out when you vacation with kids it is so exhausting! Being in a hotel room has it’s drawbacks. Your kids go to bed when you go to bed and since we did not want to go to bed at 8 our kids went to bed at  10 or 11. Which made them slightly grumpier the next day, plus there were no naps to be had since we were on the go the entire time.

We went to the World of Coke the first day and that was fun the Chickens liked tasting all the different coke flavors from around the world and they had some crazy ones. The rest of the trip we managed to cram in the Georgia Aquarium, The Fern-bank Museum, The Zoo and the High Art Museum which Ben really loved.

I would say the Georgia Aquarium was the biggest hit though. I swear these places are ingenious for finding ways to part you from your money. We came out of one exhibit and they had face painting all set up and Mason wanted one. So he got this Spider-man on his cheek and he was sooo proud…cost $5 we got off cheap he wanted his entire face painted and that was $25 his daddy said no way!

It was neat to compare pictures from the last time we came to the Aquarium  Mason was only 8 months old.

He was such a cute fat baby!

Staying in a hotel was a new experience for the Chickens they loved it. Kyboo really liked the huge mirror. Mason kept calling the hotel our new home.

This is the picture I took from our balcony..

And Mason took this one…

I think he was going for the artistic thing like his daddy.

All in all it was a really fun vacation.  Now I am making plans for the beach in September….
