We Made It!!


We're in Georgia! We drove up Wednesday and decided to take a detour and explore a bit of St. Augustine, Florida. It's the oldest city in the nation. We checked out some historical sites and walked through the downtown, making sure to enter every candy and chocolate shop on the strip.

After our 3 hour detour we drove to Atlanta. This was our first attempt at a long car ride the old fashioned way, with no video player. The kids did surprisingly well for not being able to watch shows. They played, read, and even slept a little. Luke, however, being our happiest baby yet, did not like the car ride. He fussed most of the way and hardly slept. We got in around 7pm and the kids stretched their legs out on their favorite part of Grandma and Grandpa's house...the STAIRS! Anyway. Today Doug and I went to the temple and Grandma and Grandpa tested out their babysitting skills on the 4 kids. They are going to watch them again for us in the morning when we run the Peachtree Road Race (a 10k in downtown Atlanta). Hopefully all will go well. I'm sure we will wear them out during our stay here. We all went swimming this afternoon and took a few really cute pictures. I'll add them to the blog another time as we got a new camera and still have to iron out a few things to easily upload pictures.
