It just so happened this year that a big aviation event that Phil goes to every year was in Atlanta. This is great for us because it allows us to kill 2 birds and go as a family to see Phil's mom and pops. Trekking across the country with 2 children under 2 is no easy task, so this year we decided to divide and conquer. Phil took Sloane 2 days before and I followed with Porter. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Sloane got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Dyer for a whole week and Phil and JJ got to stay in the swanky W hotel where someone else made the bed for us every day. It was nice.
One of the cool things we did there this year was visit the Georgia aquarium which is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Sloane was awestruck (me too) at how big the place was and at all of the huge displays.

JJ also got to experience a Waffle House for the first time, along with the Varsity Drive in.
We also had some family pictures done at Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, but that's another blog. Grandma and Grandpa Dyer had a small party with their friends that we attended also and celebrated Sloane's birthday there, too.
Coming home was the worst part. Delayed on the ramp for 2 hours with a mechanical issue, 4 hours in the air, 1 missed connection in Salt Lake, another 3 hour wait for another flight and getting home at midnight was rough but Sloane was a champ and gave us all she could. Troopers.
Nordstorm!
