Tourists in our own backyard

It's been awhile since I have updated the site so wanted to provide a quick note.

Laura's Aunt Pat recently came to visit for a few days. In addition to watching the kids Soccer games (Noah and Jordan each scored 2 goals in a 6-4 victory), we decided to go downtown.
From SchwartzCentral


We headed to Atlanta and played tourist for the day. Our first stop was the CNN Center Tour. This turned out to actually be pretty fun. The tour itself lasted about 55 minutes and I think we all learned a lot.
Laura got to play Anchorwoman and read the evenings Top Story. The kids thought it was awesome to see Mom on TV. Cole was picked from the crowd and the Tour Guide used him to explain how the Green Screen process works. What was great was that Cole had on a Green Shirt so when they displayed the Weather Map, he looked like a Floating Head across the TV Monitor. He was very excited.

Along the way Cole commented "This is really Fun". The Security guard said it was the first time he had ever heard a child say "this was fun"

On the way home we visited The Varsity. For those of you not familiar with The Varsity, you are greeted with a "What'll ya have? What'll ya have?"
Of course we had the world famous Hot Dogs, Chili Burgers and of course A Frosted Orange (kind of like a creamsicle shake) - Yum
