We have arrived in Atlanta for a weekend visit! The kids are thrilled with the tall buildings, the birds-eye view and our hotel suite. First timers for all three!

Oh my goodness! There is an indoor heated pool in our hotel! Another first! Bathing suits, jackets and boots for the stroll through the lobby and then… CANNONBALL!

Georgia Aquarium

DIVA! Heidi’s eyes are so light sensitive and so is her mood when she wakes up. Glasses help. Looks like I will have a makeup assistant this morning.

I was mistaken. No assistant, just a makeup thief.

We met one set of cousins, 2nd cousins, and an aunt and uncle for dinner and frozen yogurt one night. Pictured are 3 of the 4 2nd cousins here tonight. The 4th isn’t ice cream ready yet, so he’s hanging out a little further down the bench.

LEGOLAND!

Kim and Samantha met us for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a brief but wonderful visit!

We got to see 1st cousin Samantha one day! Heidi is playing the opposite game. You know, where you do the opposite of what your Mommy asks, in this case, “Open your eyes.”

Our friend, Max

We spent some time with our friends, Natalie and Mike, and little Max. Check out that toy drawer in the kitchen! So cool!

The opposite game again…

A warrior princess must sleep sometime.

We got the sword and shield at LEGOLAND. It was Heidi’s prize of the weekend.

Party all day, sleep all night! Road trip sleep wear includes sunglasses. My future’s so bright…

We came home one day early but spent our last vacation day together! Lunch out and then a movie, The Croods. The arcade games are a big draw on the way in and out of the theater.
