our time in atlanta was filled with eating, games, black friday shopping, Xbox, football, online shopping & wine.
my niece morgan.
she let talby and annie play with all of her american girl dolls....they were in heaven.
the name game.
everyone writes a name (or in our case a word or funny sounding name) and you go around the room
trying to guess who wrote what name.
it's fun.
the kids think it's pretty funny to hear their crazy name said over and over.
we also played apples to apples.
very fun.
maybe because i won.
i had the advantage of knowing the kind of things my kids would pick better than the other grown ups....
but i still won. :)
my nephew Hunter gave me five minutes to take some senior pictures of him.
seriously....five minutes.
i cannot believe he is a senior.
and after two full days we packed up and left for home.
our trunk was full of christmas gifts and two bags of hand-me-down clothes (yay!!)
our first stop on the way home was still in atlanta.
Cameli's Gourmet Pizza Joint. (they are on facebook too....)
we have wanted to come here for years!
we know the owners.
the pizza was so good.
i loved it.
craig loved it.
my kids tried calzones and fell in love.
these are the Cameli women.
their husbands are the Pizza chefs...and i got no photo of them...i am a dork.
this picture is weird.
these are my sister's college roommates....my sister should be where i am and i should be taking the picture.
but i love these girls too.
i grew up with amy (blond) and her family.
and i LOVED hanging with sara (brunette) when i would go visit my sister in college.
i wish you could have been there lorel.
thank you for sharing your friends with me.
enzo is sean's new buddy.
they exchanged addresses on napkins.
i think they are a great match....just from the half hour that i watched them together.
there was a jute box with any song imaginable and the kids played "CRAZY FROG!"
oh my goodness.
thank you thank you thank you cameli's pizza joint!
back on the road.
old school arby's....
we found a Days Inn to crash for the night after 8 hours of driving.
we used the pull out sofa bed AND made a "special bed" on the floor for annie AND both queen beds.
they swam for 30 minutes and then we slept like babies.
in the elevator to the car.
could be the best invention ever....GENIUS....i love redbox so very much.
feet touching my head...all the time.
and more feet.
i think i have mentioned before that i get car sick?
like ALL the time.
i have my entire life....so many memories of being nauseous in cars...and throwing up.
yuck.
dramamene helps.
and i can sleep a little more than i used to be able to.
we made it home.
very tired.
craig drove the entire 30+ hours.
rockstar.
i am glad the traveling is over with for awhile.
but honestly driving is way WAY better than dragging five kids through an airport on a holiday.
and we are glad we went.
the end.
