Memorial Day Braves getaway

We headed to the great city of Atlanta for the long Memorial Day weekend. (Yes, I'm just now getting around to posting about it.) We wanted to hit a Braves series and managed to talk my parents into meeting us there to join in the fun -- and help us wrangle the children! While it was definitely hot for day games, it wasn't unbearable and we had great seats in the shade each day.

Nana and Papa went with us to the Saturday and Sunday games and then took Avery back to NC with them after the Sunday game --- for a week!!!

On Memorial Day, Phil Stacey led the national anthem and it was spectacular! Probably one of the best performances I've heard.

Stuart was exhausted by all the baseball drama!


Avery loves her Papa! Here they are at Turner Field waiting for Chad to pick up the tickets.

It was almost easier to carry Avery on our shoulders through the crowds.

Avery also discovered her new love for peanuts. Papa had to "open" them for her.

We had a nice, easy walk back to our hotel. We only stayed 2 blocks away. It was perfect!

I definitely have more pictures from our last few days, but I won't attempt the mega-post. More next time...
