This past weekend, Kurt and I had a get-away to Atlanta to celebrate our anniversary. We left Saturday morning, and once we checked into our hotel, we walked around downtown and had lunch at the Peachtree Plaza.

That afternoon we went to watch the Braves play the Cardinals. As we walked into the park, we saw firetrucks lined up in honor of September 11th. They also had fireman and policeman walk out onto the field so we could applaud and honor them.
Once the game started, we had a great time cheering on the Braves, plus eating some great ballpark food! We had to leave at the end of the 7th inning since we had dinner reservations, but the Braves were ahead 3-2 so we thought we had it won. However, when we got back to the hotel, the Cardinals had tied it up, and they went into extra innings! The Braves finally hit a 3-run hr in the 12th to win it! We hate we missed such a great ending, but we already had plans to eat dinner at Morton's.

Dinner at Morton's was delicious! We told them through our reservations that we were celebrating our 4th anniversary, so they had a special menu printed just for us. We both had steak and split an order of garlic mashed potatoes, and then our waiter brought us a complimentary chocolate lava cake! Everything was so amazing!
Before we headed home on Sunday, we went over to the infamous World of Coca Cola. We took the tour and learned a lot about the history of Coke. Our favorite part, of course, was the Taste It room! :-) It had over 60 different flavors for everyone to try, and some were very good, some not so good. If you go, don't try the Beverly flavor. Yikes.

We had such a GREAT time together in Atlanta, but of course we missed our little man! We really appreciate Daddy Mer and Mama Becky for keeping him while we were gone. We know he had a blast with them, and it was easier on us to know he was in good hands! Thanks again!
