New Years in Atlanta!!!

I wanted this dude's glasses so bad. Our younger ones played him in baggo. There was a tiny size version they were playing in the hotel lobby. Too much fun!

A father teaching his sons how to do the electric slide. Classic moment.

These are friends of ours that we were with after the UT game...this woman cracked me up. She was all about it.
It was now almost 1:30 am. He was faking it, but still. Poor baby. Is this child abuse?

Here we are outside the CNN center on New Year's Day....eating, taking tours, and buying junk we don't need.
Inside the CNN center...pretty cool. I didn't tell them I prefer Fox. Ha!

This would be greed in action. Like we need more things.

This is cool....this is one of two CNN Hummer's that were in Iraq so they could do their news thing.
Mom got talked into going to a Hawks game...lets just say I'm not a huge fan of the NBA. But, this was all outta love for son #1.

We did eat (another horribly late) dinner at a cool place where we had our own tv. We are junkies when it comes to sports...especially SEC football.

The gangs all here. I like this picture.

All the 27 million people that had been following us all weekend, followed us to the GA Aquarium.
The aquarium is so very cool minus the millions of people. Here is the cool tunnel thing with the big bad nasty scary fish. It was neato.

How is that for creepy? And then kinda funny.

Yes, these are jelly fish that I see all the time in Destin, Florida. I learned that vinegar is great for a sting. I don't ever have that in my condo apparently. Then I was told urine works fine too.

Oh, lets go touch baby sharks and baby stingrays. (me? no thanks)

We went up 5 flights of stairs to our car. I thought I was gonna die.

Last night we ate at the Hard Rock because it was convenient and we needed more junk.

Thank you for peeking into our pics from Atlanta. And you know this doesn't include the ballgame at all. Wonder if I should post those? Patty will say yes. Ok, another time.

Happy "twenty-ten" to you. Don't make any resolutions because you might just break them like I have every year since I've been alive. Ha!

Instead, let's pray to be exactly who God wants us to be! I love Him so and He deserves my best! May this be the year!

Hugs and blessings~
Fran

The guys are adorable, the pics are great, the electric slide made me smile, the UT orange made me say "blech," the jellyfish gave me the heebie jeebies (and yes, vinegar works great - keep it in a water bottle in your beach bag), and I'm pretty sure my new sassy glasses are the same ones that you have.

Again, same exact people.

Very fun! Still floors me you are the amazingly calm, cool and collected mom of three boys. Maybe they are all like my Shawn...who is amazingly calm, cool and collected himself. Or, maybe they are all like my Brett whose week was not complete if it didn't involved at least one trip to the ER or X-Ray machine.

Love u.

Patty said...

Yes, Patty would say yes. lol I need to see the rest even though my beloved VOLS lost. :)

Your family is so cute and I must confess, if my family had been there we would have bought stuff we didn't need either and we would have chosen a table with a t.v. lol

I am so glad y'all had a fun time!!


Love you!
Patty

Fran,

Those places are all so familiar to me as I lived in Hot-lanta for 16 years. Glad to be out of there except to visit. I'm thrilled ya'll had a great time.

Would love for you and your readers to join us over at The Point for Challenge 2010 (twenty-ten) if you would like. It is a scripture memory challenge like Beth did last year.

Have a great week.

Leah

Well, hon, we really might have passed each other--we were tooling around Centennial Park on New Year's Day! Fun seeing your family in action (with your play-by-play ;) ) & I'm glad y'all made such wonderful memories.

Blessings in '10 (no matter how you say it!).

Looks like y'all had a blast! Wish TN had done better. Also, while I'm wishing, wish Lily and I could have slipped in your suitcase to Atlanta. I've been dying to take her to the American Girl Place there. I have a strong feeling that was not on your list of places to visit! Ha! Miss you.
