1st Day in Atlanta

Our adventures in Atlanta have begun. We arrived this afternoon around 2:30 and checked into our hotel. We stayed just long enough to unload luggage and then we headed to Six Flags. Wow!!!! What a day...............Nathan absolutely had the best time, and his daddy and mommy enjoyed themselves too. :)

When we first got there Nathan's eyes were as big as saucers, watching all of the "big" roller coasters soar above our heads. We quickly assured him that not only was he not going to have to ride those but he wasn't tall enough anyway. He was oh so happy to hear that ;)

He did ride his first ever "roller coaster"-- the Mine Train, do any of you remember that one? He was so proud and actually said he liked it BUT "that's enough of those roller coaster rides"......on to those things that were more his speed. We tackled the log flumes, monster mansion, thunder river, the bugs bunny world (which had great kid size rides), and the list goes on.

Of course my camera battery died before we ever even got to use the darn thing so the pics are from Rod's phone.........so sorry for the graininess.

All in all the trip to six flags was a huge success. Of course, when we got in the car I was quickly brought back to reality. In the dead silence (due to our exhaustion) Nathan says, "mom, it's not much longer before Dr. Jones starts to fix my ear, right?" The fun lasted all day, but I guess it's still in the back of all of our minds.

Check our the loot Nathan came away with. Those dad gum carnival games will suck you in if your not careful. Sleep tight everyone................I am off to try and get some rest. Check back tomorrow for more :)
