A BIG Thank You and an even BIGGER Sigh of Relief

Finley and I have arrived home from Atlanta, what a week we had!  I have so much more to blog about, but I wanted to jot a quick post tonight on our return trip.

Firstly, a big thanks to Grammy and Grandad for a great week in Atlanta.  Finley had an amazing time, I know she enjoyed every minute of her visit (especially the parts where ice cream was involved.)  It was fantastic that she got to meet my Uncle Larry and Aunt Joan, even moreso to share a baseball game with them.  Without Uncle Larry, Finley would probably not be named Finley.  It was he who turned me into the baseball fan that I am.  He is about to finish his MLB ballpark tour this summer, he only has a few more stadiums to see.  They are off to NYC next week to see both the new ballparks up there, I hope they have a wonderful time.

And the big sigh of relief is regards to Finley's plane ride home.  She did great, SO much better than the flight to Atlanta.  I wasn't embarrassed at all and it didn't even take any food bribes.  She did have a moment where she colored the tray table, but a wipe eradicates that (thank goodness!)  Maybe all is not lost in regards to flying with our precious toddler.

Bye bye Grammy and Grandad!  See you real soon...

Gwinnett Braves

Finley attended her first ever minor league baseball game, looks like it won't be her last since former Oriole Brooks Robinson is looking to bring a minor league to to Sugar Land right near Auntie Lori's house.

Uncle Larry and Aunt Joan met us at the stadium for a Sunday afternoon game in the hot sun.  Finley and I retreated to the shade for a lot of the game since there were a lot of empty seats, we both had on 70 SPF sunblock, but we were still turning pink under the glaring Georgia sun.

The Braves ended up losing, they mustered a comeback in the ninth, but it wasn't enough for the win.
