Atlanta, Georgia

McKinney Campground....Atlanta, Georgia

April 6-9

We had spent the last 3 days in the Atlanta area.  The campground reminded us of the Pacific Northwest and had a great view of Lake Alatoona.  We had one really rainy day and decided to stay dry and went to the theater to see the Lego movie. It was so cute...if you haven't seen it...you will love it!  

 Today Jordan and I went to the Coca Cola museum.  It was a fun experience and we got to taste all kinds of pop from around the world in the "tasting room."  

 Here is the vault for Coke's coveted SECRET RECIPE!!

We had a wonderful walk through Centennial Park, the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics.  It was really neat to see in person.  You can kind of see the 5 rings in this picture.  

 We also visited the National Historic Site dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr.  Jordan is standing in front of his childhood home, which we took a ranger guided tour of...proving very insightful into his life.  We were inspired by his courage and ability to lead others during a very difficult time in our nation's history.  

 This is Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King's grave.  It was surrounded by a long reflective pool, similar to the one in Washington D.C. He died so very young, but his mission of peace and equality was carried out in part, by his wife, Coretta.

 Curt, Benjamin and Bradley spent the day at Six Flags.  Jordan got a mild concussion last week playing basketball, so he will have to hit the next Six Flags.  All of my boys LOVE roller coasters...I mean LOVE!!  One of their goals for the trip was to ride as many roller coasters as possible.  They made big progress on that goal today.(all with huge smiles on their faces)

 Tomorrow we drive further north and west to Nashville, TN.  I have a dear friend and teammate from high school and college, Melanie, who we are going to visit.  We cannot wait to have see her and her family and be in a regular house...we have been feeling a little homesick this week.  It must be the mid-trip lull...3 1/2 months down and 3 1/2 months to go.  We hope that you all had a great Spring Break!
