Memorial Weekend in Atlanta

We went to Atlanta for the extended Memorial weekend and made sure to make the most of it. We went to a Braves game which Ben really wanted to do before finishing grad school, saw the aquarium, the New World of Coca-Cola museum, and some other fun things. Ben raising up another baseball fan.
Landon cheering on the Braves.

Our attempt at a family shot:)


Look at Landon's amazed expression while in front of the wall-sized tank with thousands of fish.

Two little people hanging with the sharks. (Do you see the whale shark overhead?)


Didn't know the Mona Lisa enjoys a coke while listening to an Ipod, did ya?

Ben trying all 60 coke products throughout the world. (I only managed to taste a few of the foreign ones, and I must say I prefer what's here in the States).

At the beginning of our Coca-Cola tour. We thought it was a neat place to spend some time, but probably not worth the money to go again.


And because we had a pool at our hotel, we took full advantage of it and had Landon have his first pool experience. At first he was a bit apprehensive, but to be fair the water was a little cool and took some getting use to. Eventually, we took him out of the tube and he stayed latched to Ben where he felt secure enough to have a little fun splashing about.

Here's a little clip of Landon's first time in a pool. (Bearing in mind that this kid is not a fan of baths).

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with a kid afraid of water! Cade doesn't love his baths either. Looks like you guys had fun! It's great that you can take advantage of your time out there and see the sites!

I can't believe the few people in the shark tank tunnel. Omaha Zoo is always buzzing when we go there. I guess we choose the wrong time to go. What a neat vacation.
