Mini Vacay

Back in the beginning of the month Josh and I had a whole 4 days, that's right, FOUR DAYS,  off together, so we decided to take a mini vacation. Part of the reason we had all of those days off was because of a Dropkick Murphy's concert that I had bought tickets for back at Christmas. So, Monday morning afternoon we loaded up the car, dropped the girls off with my mom, and headed to the ATL. While we were down there, we decided to go visit The Wonderful World of Coca Cola (p.s. Josh HATED Beverly, and was a little upset with me for making him taste it. HAHAH...for those of you who have been there, you know exactly what I am talking about). Then we quick grabbed a bite to eat at the mid-town Vortex, so very, very yummy, and then we were off to the concert. We had a blast. Being that Josh comes from an Irish heritage, we loved the show. We missed the first opener, but the second opener was another Irish punk band from L.A. and then, it was time for some Dropkick, one of Josh's all time favorite bands. They played a great set, and it was fun to see everyone get really into the show (mosh pits, shoving, and jumping included).

The next day we decided to take in the Georgia Aquarium, which was quite impressive. Josh thought that our aquarium was a little bit bigger, but it was still an impressive place and VERY kid friendly with lots of touch and feel exhibits, and even most exhibits being quipped with an ipad, touchscreen type of thing to play little games or learn more information about the fish. We even got to see a dolphin show, granted it was totally directed towards the kiddos, it was really cool to see 5 dolphins swim around and do flips in sync. Right before we tried to find out way out of town, we drove over to see the Alpha Delta Pi headquarters, however, we just quick stopped for a picture out front of it, since Josh was with me, and I didn't make an appointment, I couldn't go in to see everything. One day though. Then, we circled Atlanta for what felt like hours until we finally found our way to the interstate.....just in time for rush hour. REALLY?!?! At this point I was getting quite hungry, and we all know that leads to crankiness, so Josh hopped on his phone and found an alternative route to the Joe's Crabshack that we were going to for dinner.

It was a great trip, even if it was just for one night, it was really good to get out of town and spend some time with each other. Hopefully we will be able to do it again soon. **fingers crossed**
