On Friday, October 23rd we flew to Atlanta for a work conference. Friday and Saturday Melia and Chris hung out at the hotel while I worked. Then it was time for vacation!
Saturday night we took Melia to her first hockey game. Atlanta Thrashers vs San Jose Sharks. I thought it was neat that they were playing the Sharks, since Chris and I went to a Sharks game in San Jose when I was pregnant. She was really into the game and everything going on in the Arena. Before the game we grabbed dinner at The Varsity. "What'll ya have?" We had a chili cheese dog and chili cheese burger, onion rings, and an orange freeze shake. YUM!
Sunday we slept in (thank you Melia!) and then went to church. From there we went to Zoo Atlanta. Today was their Boo at the Zoo event, so there were a ton of kids dressed up in costume. We got to trick or treat around the zoo and listen to spooky stories. So much fun!
Afterwards we headed to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They were also having a halloween event - Scarecrows in the Park. They had a lot of really neat scarecrows all over. They also had haunted storytime, pumpkin decorating and a costume parade. It was really cute.
For dinner we headed to Gladys and Ron's. Famous for their waffles and fried chicken! Yes, dinner both nights have been a heart attack waiting to happen, but we are exercising and eating good the rest of the day!
We bought a City Pass, so lots more fun is in store the next two days!
