Georgia vacation

We returned Sunday from our 8-day vacation to my humid homeland of Georgia. We had such a blast and it was nice to finally have a "real" vacation instead of just a visit home (although we did visit some old friends of mine). It was great for my parents to spend time with Ben and for them to witness him walking all over the place---yes, I said walking. He took his first steps before we left for vacation, but now is walking really well-- and falling on his hind end respectfully.

We went to the Stone Mountain Laser Show, Georgia Aquarium, Coca-Cola museum, the Varsity, Waffle House, Atlanta Braves game, Southern Civil War museum in my hometown to name a few places. It was a load of fun and Ben (as well as his parents) were completely spoiled by Mimi and Papa Prichard.

Here's some of the photos from out trip...

Coca-Cola museum.... Ben loved the Polar Bear...he wanted to snuggle it and kept laughing at it. My mom and dad are below also with the bear and a cool classic Coke car.
















Coby and Ben at the Aquarium. Below is a beautiful squid and a large, ugle fish that is larger than pictured. I may never swim in the ocean again.


















Coby and Ben are pictured below touching sting rays...Ben got a little too close and got some yummy salt water on him! I touched one...it was really slimy and it scared me to pieces. In case you didn't know... I have a huge fear of fish, so going here was more than amazing, but touching some of them and looking at them freaked me out. You'll see some pics that will make you think twice about what's in the water next time you're swimming.

Well... we're glad to be back in St. George and getting back to our routine and out of the humidity. We miss the food, fun and my family...but, love to dry southern Utah weather!!

We'll post more pics on our family blog, cobyandjill.blogspot.com.

Love y'all!!
