Trip to Atlanta

We have had a big week, it was Luke's first plane trip!! Vic had a work conference in Atlanta this week, so Luke and I tagged along for fun. We had a great time and it was nice to get away and see some fun new things. Luke did really well on the trip, even on the returning flight that ended up being a 6 hour trip on the plane instead of 2! (thanks to thunderstorms in houston that prevented us from landing and rerouted our trip - exactly what I had feared most!!) Even though Daddy was working, we still had lots of time to see him and we are glad he took us with him! Here are some pictures from the week.

We went to the Georgia Aquarium and it was fantastic! Luke's favorite was seeing this thing, we couldn't drag him away from it after the picture :-)

Luke touching the stingrays, we had a hard time keeping him from jumping in with them!

Worn out after the aquarium with his new friend (the fish)

My personal favorite outing in Atlanta was to the World of Coca Cola!! I love coke and it was super fun to see how it is made, the highlight of the tour was tasting all sorts of coke drinks from around the world. Luke enjoyed it too!!

Oops, was I not supposed to let him try the alcoholic ones??? Just kidding :-)

These pictures are from the children's museum in Atlanta, Luke enjoyed "fishing" and also playing in the sandboxes.

Our hotel overlooked the Centennial Park, which I think was built for the olympics when they were held in Atlanta. They were several playgrounds that Luke had lots of fun on.

Luke's favorite thing in all of Atlanta was the fountain in the shape of the olympic rings. The fountain has shows at certain times of the day and here is Luke watching the show with Daddy.

Luke is thinking about going in.....

He's getting close!!

And he's in!!!

Poor Luke, he went inside the rings of water when they weren't shooting water, I don't think he realized when they all came on that he would be stuck inside!!! He eventually got out when the water went down again, but it was very entertaining :-)
