The Macs: May 2008

What fun we had running over to Atlanta to enjoy some family time before I started my new job! We visited the World of Coke, the Atlanta Aquar., CNN Studios, went and celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Mindy, Randall, Caroline, Kristin, and Clayton as well as stopped off at the Atlanta Zoo on our way home. The Varsity was a must eat at too. If you haven't been to the World of Coke you need to visit it...you can taste every drink that is bottled by coke all over the world...my family have came to the conclusion that if it wasn't for classic Coke and the other coke products bottled here in N. America than we wouldn't be drinking Coke products. Our second stop was the Aquarium and WOW! I don't like Aquarium's I think they smell bad but hey this one was awesome....Maddie loved it however thought that a shark was going to eat her because we kept telling her that the only way the sharks would break through the glass was if he smelt blood (we told her this the whole way to Atlanta and before we left and when we got there) anyway right as we where fixing to enter in she feel and cut her knee to the point it was bleeding a little bit and we saw a guy that must have been feeding the fish right before he walked outside because he had on a dr.'s jacket with blood all over the side of it and Luke had just got out of his mouth "he must have gotten bit by one of the sharks look how bloody he is I bet he was bleeding and they smelt him" and then Maddie feel down, so needless to say she wasn't paniced about entering. She was crying and I had to carry her in because she was so scared, she ended up loving every minute of it and Alex, oh man, was just in awe..he kept running around and pointing at the fish and saying "Ish, Ish, Mama", I could have just ate him. Well then our next stop was CNN studio. Luke and I thought that we where sooooo smart and would go to the less kid friendly event while Alex was a sleep and thought the Maddie would be okay and think some parts where interesting so we walk over to CNN from the Aquarium and buy our tickets (non refundable) and the lady said get in line and start unloading the stroller this is a 8 story tour and you have to walk up and down all 8 stories of stairs so you can't take the stroller...I was so mad that they didn't tell us until After we had purchased the tickets. Well we wake up Alex and we go on, the tour was interesting to Luke and I put not so much to the babies we had to stay at the back of the tour and step out every once and a while with Al but over all it was okay and most of all my arms where killing me at the end because Alex wouldn't let his Daddy carry him because of him being still sleepy. Okay well then we went to Mindy's and had a great dinner and enjoyed them like always. Man oh Man Caroline's prom dress was gorgous, I got a steak pick of it. Then we went back to the suite and swam a little and got in the hot tub before bed then nighty night we went. Well morning came and up and out the door we went to the Zoo....we had so much fun especially Alex being outside and seeing all the animals which he thinks are all the big ones are "COW". Once we arrived home we went straight to the camper at camped the rest of the week...which we all enjoyed, getting dirty, ride bikes and cooking out.
