Grandpapa's last day

On grandpapa's last day with us, we went to Atlanta to visit the aquarium and the Coca-Cola museum.

visit with Auntie Melanie

Auntie Melanie came for a visit shortly after nana & grandpapa came to visit. We went to pick up at the airport in Atlanta and spent the night there so we could go to the aquarium there. It's the biggest aquarium in the world! Nathan checked out the fish and we had a really good time. It's so big, though, that you just don't get to see everything in one visit. Here are some pictures!

This hat was too cute to pass up.


I think this is one of my favorites of me and the little man

Ren Faire!

This past weekend we headed up to Atlanta. We visited with Trish, Thelma, Bud & Vicki. It was a lot of fun. We got in on Friday afternoon and got to relax and just enjoy everyone's company. We had a wonderful spaghetti dinner and then Trish and I went off to go to shopping at Trader Joe's and we stopped in at a metaphysical store, too.

Saturday morning, we headed to the Georgia Renaissance Festival. We got there before it opened so we got to give Nathan his bottle and hang out a bit before. Once Nathan finished eating, we got to enjoy the festival. Here are some pictures.

Here's Trish hanging out with Nathan during the Jousting tournament.



This pirate and his buddies accosted Trish, Warren and Nathan. He noticed that Nathan was sucking his thumb and informed him that there was plenty of food at the faire and there was no need to eat his fingers. Finally, when Nathan didn't stop sucking his thumb, the pirates renamed him "Four Fingered Nate"



Because of Nathan's new pirate name, we decided to get him this little hat.


Here are father and son with a (rather tall) Knight


Sunday, we had breakfast and hung out for a while before joining Bud, Vicki & Alix at the Olive Garden for a late lunch. We got to talk and enjoy their company. It was a long weekend but it was so much fun.
