HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN!!!

Justin found $10 Braves tickets we couldn't pass up.  We decided to make it an over-nighter for his 33rd birthday.  Here we are excited for the get away.
We ate lunch at Piedmont Park. 
We saw the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.  This was his birthhouse.
This is where he is buried with his wife.  On his side it says "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty I'm free at last." On Coretta's side it says "And now abide Faith, Hope, Love, These Three; but the greatest of these is Love." I didn't realize he was buried on water.
We also stopped at Stone Mountain, world's largest piece of exposed granite. The carving is of Jackson, Lee, and Davis of the Confederate States of America.  We did not stay for the laser light show. We went out to dinner instead.  It was a good choice!
We walked around Cenntenial Olympic Park, built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Pretty.
We went to a Historic Oakland Cemetery and ended up finding Bobby Jones (real famous golfer for those of you who are like me...).  There was some interesting history in the cemetery.
At our Atlanta Braves vs Dogers Game.  Braves came back and won in the bottom of the 9th.  Super exciting!
Our seats.  They seemed closer than what this picture shows.  
I must say I was impressed with the availability of bathrooms around Atlanta!  One I found even did everything for me (almost) and talked throughout the whole event!

We celebrated with Isaac and Olivia the day after we got home. They wanted to make Daddy blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
Watching them cook...and being silly all at the same time.
 Later, we had the neighbor's over for heath ice cream cake.  Justin wanted to know at what age he gets to stop blowing out candles.  humm...NEVER!  I love birthdays!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN! I LOVE YOU!
