Hows my little southerner?


Last weekend Laura and I ventured off to the dirty south to visit the family in Peachtree City, GA. We had a great time adventuring around the area and loved playing with their kids. Playing with little one is exhausting work, especially since their energy never seems to deplete and mine drains very apparently. It was really great to catch up with the Davis family again, we always have lots of fun and make some very great and enlightening conversation. We did a lot of fun things while we visited, we celebrated Laura and Ali's birthdays, we found a couple of geocaches, visited Calloway Gardens, saw the greatest show on earth, walked around Atlanta, and took a tour of CNN.


Laura's Mom made her favorite, German Chocolate Cake.

Scott and Brandee Made a fantastic Guinness Chocolate Cake, I want to eat this again. And again.

Avery and Alia have these awesome things called Huggle Pods, I want a big one for our living room, it might be cooler than the LoveSac.


Daffodils in February? Pretty!

The Ringling Brothers, and Barnum and Bailey Present: The Greatest Show on Earth! I love the circus. I love it so much, I had a great time and was very excited about the whole thing.


These guys were my favorite, they had pogo stick things on their feet and jumped around doing flips and glowing like crazy. I want a pair.

I told Laura to look excited and she sure does...

CNN's World headquarters is HUGE! They have the worlds longest freestanding escalator, which you ride up into the globe to start the tour. The tour was really cool because we got to learn how news is made, see the studio and some anchors sitting around doing their hair on set. In the newsroom every desk has three computer monitors, I was drooling hardcore. Fun Fact, CNN fact checks every bit of news (that is not opinion) with two sources before airing it.

Centennial Park is really cool, Laura's fake smile here is because we spent like 15 minutes reading names on some bricks to find the first step in a multi-cache and failed.


Mr. Pemberton, inventor of Coca-Cola. His invention has contributed to millions of cases of diabetes and obesity globally. 

I was so excited about seeing footie pajamas that tried on a pair of women's (it was all they had), they were too small in nearly every way, sometimes being tall sucks. I'm now determined to find myself some footies.

On our flight back home I had our corkscrew that I carry around for wine opening emergencies confiscated by TSA security. It was lame because I've gotten it through at least three other airports before this one. Oh well.

When we opened our garage door when, our wandering neighborhood cat ran out and meowed like crazy. Understandable, he was trapped in our garage for over four days! We found this note taped to our back door. Laura felt awful and fed it, I got mad because our garage now smells like cat pee.
