Adventures in Atlanta – Part 1

Our journey to our vacation began with a road trip…broken up with rest stops of course.  Going in to our trip we were worried that the girls might drive us crazy on our drive south but we were pleasantly surprised.  They were awesome!  As a reward, Glenn took them out to breakfast at the Waffle House for waffles.  I got to enjoy some me time in the hotel room away from the gluten filled air.

Rest stops are fun!
