HOTLANTA!

Ryan begins school on Thursday of this week, so we took him to Atlanta to see the Braves play this past weekend. He was excited to have the van to himself on the way there!Finding a hotel was a little bit of a task. Seems everyone else decided to head to Atlanta for the game also! We finally found a room at the Embassy Suites not far from Turner Field. Below is Ryan trying to get comfortable (I think he succeeded) after we got into our room. Unfortunately, it was time to leave to head to the field not 5 minutes after we unpacked! Our hotel was across from the Olympic Centennial Park.
Outside of Turner Field.
We ate dinner in the 755 Club. Our window seat had a great view of the field.
It was Elvis Day at Turner Field! Before the game, Elvis parachuted onto the field. It was kind of scary!

Well, the Braves lost last night, so we decided to come back and see if they could win today. It was very hot and people were being taken from the stands on stretchers. We had seats in the shade and Ryan had to have a frozen lemonade to stay cool and watch the game! And yes, they won today!
We had a great weekend spending time with Ryan. We can't believe that he will be entering 4th grade in a few days. He's not ready for summer to be over, but I can tell he's excited about school (he wouldn't admit that)!
