ATL Trip

Thursday May 26th I got up and did what I always do before we take a trip - cleaned and picked up the house. Once I was done with that I started packing for our short trip. After we were packed we dropped Ref off at my parents and made our way to he gas station for some road trip snacks. It's a Barker family tradition lol! We were on the road by 1130.

I wanted to leave in time to make a stop at Buc-ee's. Which happened to be a perfect stop for a bathroom break and more snacks!

We had to get Icees's!!!! They are our favorite!

Rain, Rain Go Away! We've got baseball to watch today!

Brisket sandwich and Beaver Nuggets!!

See you next time Buc-ee's! We WILL be back! Like tomorrow on our way home! hehe!

After lots of traffic and rerouting we finally made it to our hotel - Sheraton Galleria.

After we got settled into the hotel room- on the 16th floor- we decided to get a Lyft over to The Battery and find the boys and I some shirts. They were like - "Is this a taxi?"

Walking through The Battery ...

Some friends of ours ended up buying tickets to the same game. We hung out here and let the boys play while we waited for them to get there.

We make it into the stadium and start figuring our what everyone wants to eat. Liam chose this cheese pizza that was just as big as he is.

Our seats were in section 215

Well, hello Dansby ;)

My boys :)

Let's play ball!

We found the World Series trophy on our way to find the Green's!

The view from where Vanessa, Adam and their boys sat.

On a mission to find cotton candy!!!

Our first Braves game!

The outcome wasn't what we hoped for but we battled there in the last inning. We lost 4-1 to the Phillies.

Little did we know that our adventure was just getting started. There were so many people we figured we probably couldn't find an Uber or Lyft and we weren't THAT far from our hotel. So we started walking...
