Weekend in Hotlanta

We spent this weekend in Atlanta visiting Aimee, Allen and our goddaughter Amanda. It has been well documented that David loves older women, so this trip was right up his alley. Despite the fact that he called her Haley as often as he called her Amanda, they had a really fun time together. They were always hugging and holding hands. Very cute.
Kevin took Friday off of work, so we were able to arrive in the afternoon. David gave Allen and Aimee a real taste of what it is to be a boy. And by that I mean he ran around their house frantically turning every thing he touched into either a weapon or some sort of sport. There was also a lot of random shouting involved.
Saturday we went to the Georgia Aquarium, which was fantastic. Kids and grown ups were all very impressed.
Kevin and David checking out the oceans exhibit which included a couple of enormous whale sharks and a very cool tunnel where you were surrounded by fish, sharks and manta rays.

David and Amanda checking out the river exhibit and outside the aquarium (note David is carrying Amanda's purse).

Afterwards we went to the Varsity for some delicious greasy food.
David and Amanda looked very stylish in their paper hats. David hijacked my banana pudding ice cream.

Sunday before we flew out, we went to the Atlanta zoo. Highlights included an enclosed area full of parakeets that the kids could feed (we managed to get out of there without getting pooped on), the pandas and a train ride with Amanda.

Many thanks to Allen, Aimee and Amanda for being such great hosts and letting us drag them around all weekend. The three of us had a great time and can't wait to come back.

Thanks for visiting! David amazed us with his strength and agility! Amanda really enjoyed "borrowing" David for the weekend. :)
