My Dad took a day off of work at the end of August, so we took a day trip to Atlanta for a little end of summer adventure. We spent our morning at the Botanical Gardens and the rest of the day at the Georgia Aquarium. So fun! It definitely made me a little more excited about moving to Atlanta - there are so many fun things to do with children.
Mary was a champ at the Botanical Gardens, she knew that you only smell the flowers and don't touch them. Although her "smelling" is a little backwards, it's more like blowing your nose on the flowers . . . we hope the gardeners didn't mind.
We were super excited to go to the aquarium - our first trip since it opened, however many years ago? Mary was excited about all the fish, until she fell right to sleep in her stroller and stayed that way for a few hours. When she woke up, she was hardly interested in looking at fish, so that was it for the aquarium.
We played in Centennial Olympic Park for the entire evening - they have some great playgrounds for little ones and some great shady benches for their mamma's! Paul couldn't come with us, but his office overlooks the aquarium and the park - so we count him there.
I really can't do this day justice with a blog post. I think it was just too sweet for words. One of those - take it easy, not a care in the world kind of days. Plus Mary thinks her Opa is one of the most fantastic people on this planet and would gladly talk about him every minute of the day. She couldn't ask for more being able to be OUTSIDE and playing all day with her Opa. One of the best days EVER. We love you Opa!
