Mini-vacation

Since I was out on spring break and Lee is about to begin outage (72 hours a week at work), we decided to tag along with Mel and Ish on their trip to Atlanta. We left Saturday around lunch and went to the temple and let the kids run around on the lawn. Then we went to the bookstore and headed to our hotel. We stayed in Buckhead which is a ritzy area and when we tried to find a place to eat, it all had valet parking. We finally ate at the food court in the mall (which also has valet parking). Sunday Mel, Ish, their kids and Heather came up and we went to the zoo. It was okay, but the Jacksonville zoo that we went to a few years ago was better. After the zoo, we went to Bass Pro Shops and then back to the hotel. Monday we went to the Aquarium. It was neat and Jackson thoroughly enjoyed it. The only down side was how much it cost us to eat there. We headed home after that. It was fun, but I was glad to get home.

Jackson watching the beluga whales. They kept trying to mate. Luckily, Jackson didn't really catch on.
The babies were mesmerized by the water and fish as well.

Our attempt at a picture of all three.

Lauren was pouting at the time.

There were three or four huge walls of water and a tunnel where the sharks and huge stingrays swam over you. Jackson was really excited about that. He kept yelling "Look Bradley"

This is on the carousel at the zoo. Morgan loves anything that goes around and around.

Jackson was the only one who wanted to go in the petting zoo.

This is at the temple. The flowers were soo pretty.

We let them run, so I had to chase Morgan.

Jackson was very excited about being at the temple.
