Summer Vacation ~Day 3~ Hanging with our Cousins

 After our much needed restful night of sleep we went out to meet with my sister Jennifer's kids.

We meet up at an old Civil War Battle Field.  My dad came along and had a blast hanging out with 8 of his 13 Grand kids. 

 We drove to the top of this hill where there were old cannons all around where they would shoot at the enemy below.

 The kids had a good time time hanging out together and climbing on the rocks.  It was neat to look out on the city below.

We all went out to lunch together and had a great time catching up.  From there all the kids went back to the hotel where we meet up with Susan, nick, and William. All the kids went swimming with Ben, Susan and Nick in charge while the rest of us adults went with Emily to the Atlanta Temple.
Once we were done at the Temple we had a family dinner put on by Emily's Husband to bes family, but our kids were not invited so John and Jennifer's husband Jeremy stayed behind with the kids.  It ended up being a long night and we didn't get our food till very late but that gave us a chance to spend time together.  It was a fun day but the real craziness was to come in the morning so we all got some much needed rest for the big day a head.

Summer Vacation ~Day 2~ Atlanta

After driving all night we were able to get into our hotel room early and get cleaned up before we headed out to meet my dad and brother.

Atlanta is the HQ for Coca Cola and they have a World of Coca Cola museum so of course we had to make sure we made it there. This is were we meet my dad and youngest brother Ben who we have not seen in years.

  We had to wait in a line outside in 100 degree weather it was really humid out I don't know how people live down south I was dying just walking to the building.

They had some really cool things to see inside like these huge bottles.

They had this huge touch screen to learn about the company around the world.  They had this really cool 4D movie where the seats moved it was really fun.

We walked around looking at all the cool things and information they had. They have an area where you can taste different soda from around the world and most were pretty awful but we did find a few that were really good.

They had the Coca Cola Bear so we had our family picture taken, but Aaron didn't want anything to do with him.

We had a great time and saw many cool things but everyone was tired from driving all night so we headed back to our hotel to take a quick swim and head to bed early.
