Atlanta Trip

This month we had our first night away from the boys since Sam was born.  It was tough, but definitely needed!  I think it is important for us to have time away every now and then.  We of course miss the boys while we are gone, but come back with a renewed energy.  My mom came down and kept George (she was worried it would be too much to keep them both together overnight while Sam is still so little) and Aunt C, Uncle Steve and Lily kept Sammy.  We are so thankful to have such wonderful family to allow us to have some time to ourselves, and we are able to relax knowing that these boys are in great hands!  

So, Drew and I took a trip to Atlanta! My dad had given Drew a trip to drive a race car at ATL Speedway.  We left bright and early Saturday morning.  We stopped in Eufalla and had lunch at a great little cajun place.  Auburn was playing to MS. State so we both enjoyed listening to the game on the radio.

We stayed at the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta, and it was awesome!  This was the view from our balcony. It overlooked Centennial Park.

We spent the afternoon walking around the park and all over downtown Atlanta.  We then got ready to head to dinner.  
here we are before dinner..I wish it wasn't so blurry.
After dinner we met up with Drew's old roommate for a little while and then called it a night.  Sunday was the day Drew drove the race car.  We got up early and left for Atl Speedway.  It was so cool!  The place was huge and Drew had a blast!  He drove the car by himself and got up to 125 mph!! Scary! 
We had such a fun weekend, thanks so much to our wonderful family for taking such wonderful care of our babies! We love y'all!
