Hotlanta in July

We traveled to Georgia once again so Ryan could take the GA Bar and we could enjoy our monthly visit with my family. Originally, we were going to fly...that plan quickly changed when we arrived at the airport only to find our flight had been delayed THREE HOURS due to maintenance issues. We were not about to sit around with a busy, moody toddler who couldn't sit still so we canceled the tickets, headed back to the car and hit the road. What a mess!

It ended up being a blessing in disguise, saving us a ton of money and making it much more convenient to have a car at our disposal. We arrived after 1 am and quickly collapsed into bed at Kelly and Lincoln's house - a fun change since we usually stay with my parents.

My poor mom was battling shingles on top of everything else, so we had a pretty low key weekend, hanging out at their house and taking it easy. We got to spend lots of time playing with the little boys and enjoying family dinners together.

Ryan spent the night in a hotel on Monday night so he could focus on the test so we joined the Hamiltons for dinner at my parents' house and then joined Kelly and Carter for playgroup on Tuesday before heading down to pick Ryan up and start the long drive home.

We won't know the results of the test until September but I'm so thankful that stress is over for Ryan and I'm also grateful we could make a weekend of it to be in Atlanta together. I just hope we can continue our monthly visits back and forth as the boys continue to grow up!
