Hittin' the Road!

I just couldn't wait any longer to go back to GA, so I convinced my family to do a spontaneous trip. We packed up in a day and we drove 32 hours straight to get there. We let the babies sleep and I really can't believe we did it and survived. They were such good sports about it. Julianne could use some work on her sportsmanship though.
While there we did a little of this...
Grandpa Steve taking a turn a hair fixin'. He even brushed and blowdried Gabriela's hair.



Car wash with Aunt Cortney. I believe my sister called the car a bug cemetery, so we had to take care of it.

Watching the Laser Show Spectacular at Stone Mtn. with my dad and sisters.

We got to see our friends Amber and Ryan while there. They actually moved into my mother's stake. Gabriela was thrilled to see Aubrey and the visit was topped off by some ice cream from the ice cream truck.



The girls great grandmother came to visit us and they were treated to a story. Now that touched my heart.
We had a fish fry at my Mom's. It was yummy, complete with all the fixins'.
It hit the spot for Miguel.



The girls got their hair cut. We took about four to five inches off of Sophia's and she felt like a new woman afterwards.

We went to a Brave's baseball game with my sister and her inlaws. It was Miguel's first time at a major league game. The atmosphere was great...well we'll just say the weather was great, because we got an ear full of foul language from the intoxicated fellas all around us. The game was s..l..o..w.. and we lost. Maybe we'll try football next time.

We did however enjoy the biggest hotdogs we'd ever eaten on our lives.

After a week of fun we had to pack it up and hed home. We decided to split up the drive over two days and by day two we felt a little like monsters. Here's Miguel's fake smile as we make a pit stop.

What a great attitude you have!

Depite the terrential rains we faced coming back, we made it safe and sound and we felt like had a life experience. We love the mountains, don't want to see fried food for a while, and were happy to be out of the car and sleeping in our own beds.
It's good to be home!

How fun - we love road trips, but I don't think I could do 32 hours....especially with my kids - your girls are angels.

Nothing like 64 hours in a car to make you appreciate NOT being in a car. :) I'm glad you had a good trip. Road trip to California next time Kay?
