Day 2 got of to a slooooow start. Mama was still recoving from the exhausting day before. So much so, that we overslept and missed church!
Josh's friend, Blake was still with us, so I got up, made some brunch for the gang, then ran Jonathan to soccer practice. After that, we headed to Hartwell Lake for a swim. A nice, low key day!
Day one of our Staycation: Atlanta!
Not gonna lie...I found out why they call it Hot-lanta! 94 degree and nothing but cement. We left at 8:30am, went to pick up Jonathan's soccer buddy, and we headed to Georgia. 2.5 hours from us...not bad. We arrived around 12:30pm (traffic was hairy!) And met up with Josh and one of his college friends. We parked and walked to Restaurant 10 which was literally across the street from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Food was great, but the corn bread muffins were to die for. Not sure what type of secret goodness was baked in or poured over those muffins, but man, they were the best!
After eating, we walked to the stadium to watch our first Major League Soccer game; Atlanta United vs. Columbus Crew. It was a lot of fun for our Carolina crew of 7 soccer players/fans!
The game was over around 5:30pm and we (finally) made it back to our car around 6:30pm and home around 9:30pm. Exhausting, but so much fun! On to day 2!
My baby is officially a middle-schooler...I can hardly believe how fast the years are flying by. We finished the year with awards day. We are so proud of her hard work and great attitude this year!
