Good Times in Atlanta!

The last week in August we went to Atlanta to visit my sister, Nicole and brother-in-law, Frank. Frank had just graduated from National Guard basic training with honors. Frank was super fit and super thin. Nicole was looking hot and trim.
We had a great time on our mini-trip-- one overnight. We stayed at the Intercontintental Hotel, which is beautiful and luxurious. How did we afford it you ask? Nicole bid on our rooms at priceline.com, and we got a real steal of a rate. Garrett loved romping around our room, and had a great time Sunday morning taking a bath and eating breakfast with Aunt Nicole and Uncle Frank.

We went to Stone Mountain (the Confederate Mount Rushmore) and saw the lazer and fireworks show. The lazer show is like a fun, flashy travel guide to the South. We also went to the Atlanta Aquarium. It was Labor Day weekend, so the aquarium was packed to the max. The aquarium is huge and magnificent. I don't know what Garrett liked more the fish or the people.

Belated Birthday Post-- Happy 1st, Garrett!


Garrett Douglas Stephens turned one year old on August 4th, 2007!











We celebrated at the NC Asheboro Zoo with Grandma Judy, Aunt Hannah, Cousins Mia and Vincent. Its an awesome zoo, but it was sweltering hot day. The zoo has two sides, the African and North American.








We went to the African side, which has vast natural exhibits. Garrett ate his first cupcake, and made a grand mess. Despite the heat, we all had a lovely time.
