Of our summer trip!

Wednesday night a very good friend stopped with her two boys on their way to DC for a big trip themselves. The two of us stayed up until 3:30 am when we finally MADE ourselves go to bed. We don't get much time to talk, what with kids and being so far away, and it was great to just catch up and talk. I slept a little over three hours before it was time to get up and get the kids ready for the ride.

We left shortly after 8:20 to start our trip to Atlanta. We stopped for food and restrooms and gas, and the kids did well in the car. We pulled in to our rental house about 9:30 (10:30 GA time). The house is great! Three bedrooms, a nice neighborhood, two car garage, living, dining, big kitchen, basement with computer and tredmill!, two baths, etc. I finally rolled into bed around 11:30. And slept well! :)

Today I got groceries, we went to the Dr. Martin Luther King Center (GREAT!) (and FREE!), I hit an AWESOME thrift store while the kids napped, then we went to IHOP for dinner. (One of the kids' faves!) Here are a couple pics from the Center, but I have more to post soon.

This is on the Freedom Walkway. The photos on postcards at the center show awesome mural type banners along the edges but they weren't up. :( The reflection pool was also drained. :( But it was still so beautiful there! Peaceful...
