Spring break

 Spring break started off with Audrey going to opening day with my friend Elise. It was the last opening day at Turner Field, next year they will be in their new home Suntrust Park in Cobb County!

 Next, the kids and I went for a hike to Amicolola Falls. The drive took longer than expected but it was very pretty. When we finally got there, we parked by the visitor center. The ranger told me it was about a half mile from there to the base of the waterfall and then a half mile climb. No problem! We headed out and I immediately realized what a bad it is to hike outnumbered 3-1. About 30 minutes in we finally made it past the last parking lot. The next milestone was the reflecting pool that marked the half mile mark. We continued past that and started the climb. We didn't climb very far. An hour into the hike the kids were ready to stop for a snack, and that is where we turned around! And it took us another hour to get back to the visitor's center. We never made it to the waterfall, it was quite disappointing and a bit frustrating.











 Nathan needed to visit a planetarium for a scout requirement so we headed to the Tellus Museum. It was a lot of fun! There was so much to do. The kids really loved panning for gems and digging for fossils.
