Hotlanta

For Father's Day weekend, JJ and I put Barney in the car and headed down to visit JJ's aunt and uncle in ATL. JJ is done with OTAs (organized team activities) for the summer, so now his workout schedule is flexible and we are free to travel a little bit. We will for sure take advantage of that.

We went down on Saturday and spent the afternoon at the pool. It has been ridiculously hot in the south so far this summer, combine that with the humidity, and a trip to the pool was necessary.

One of our goals is to visit as many major league ballparks as possible, so we thought we would take advantage of our trip to Atlanta and go to a Braves game. One of JJ's friends plays for the Braves so it was a bonus to get to see him play! It was also an awesome surprise that he was able to hook us up with tickets on such short notice. We had great seats right behind home plate about 25 rows up, in the family section. I won't lie, I had fun checking out what all the baseball wives were wearing and seeing what they were like. They game itself was really good and it ended with a walk off home run, which I had never seen before.

On Sunday, we went downtown to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke. It was a fun way to spend a hot day. The aquarium was impressive, you wouldn't expect something like that in the middle of Atlanta. My favorite was the otters, they were so cute while they were playing. We also had fun tasting all of the different Coke brands from all over the world. We don't drink soda really ever, so we were both on sugar overload after the first few tastes.

After we finished downtown, we drove around (a.k.a. got lost in) Buckhead for a bit before stumbling on the Buckhead Diner. Not your typical diner; they had fabulous gourmet food in a fun atmosphere. I would love to go back for dinner one day.

We finished the weekend off with a Father's Day BBQ back at the house. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!
