Atlanta

Last December after about six months of negotiating Bo and Kris (Bo's business partner) sold one of their businesses, DiatamaciousEarth.com.  Kendra and I wanted to do something for them to congratulate them on this accomplishment. We couldn't decide what to do and Kendra had the idea to take a trip.  Bo loves going places and I knew this was the gift they'd love.  We invited Gini to come along because they all LOVE the Braves.

We talked to them about it and the options we had.  One of them was to go watch the Braves play in their new stadium, Sun Trust Park which jus opened this season.  They of course picked baseball.  We had a great time and I learned a lot about the Braves.

They've built a whole mini town complete with a hotel, apartments, a high rise office building, and a movie theater.  All owned by the Atlanta Braves.  It was well organized and pretty spectacular. We got to go on a tour of the stadium and watch the teams warm up on the field.  The guys loved it. Bo even got a ball tossed to him from Kemp that he and Freddie Freeman played catch with.  Conrad's favorite player is Freeman so he was pretty excited to get the ball.

My parents were awesome and took the kids for us!  Thanks so much Mom and Dad!!!  It was nice to have a few day getaway.

Ball that Freeman and Kemp warmed up with.

While we were there we also went to the Civil Rights Museum, The Coke Museum, and CNN.  I loved the Civil Rights Museum.  It was really well done.  It made me see how bad it really was and this all happened when our parents were kids.  Crazy! The museum started out kind of dark and as we moved up through the building it got lighter. It had a whole section about Martin Luther King, Jr.  By the end the museum had many photos of people and stories of how there are many ways that people all over the world are in slavery but that there is hope today.  They talked about those that have helped pave the way for others.  It was pretty cool.

The Coke Museum was cool.  My favorite part was the room filled with fountains that had their flavors all over the world.  It was fun to taste the different pop.  Although, it didn't take long to get sick. :)

I don't love CNN News but it was interesting to take a tour of their headquarters.

This was inside and these are some of their offices.

This is the largest free standing escalator in the US.  It was crazy tall!
