Ashley and I decided to take our husbands and kids to Atlanta with us for a day of fun before the race. We went to the Atlanta Children's Museum and let the kids run wild. There were so many fun things to do! After, we went across the street to Centennial Park. Carter and Charlie especially enjoyed running through the sprinklers and trying not to get wet. Believe it or not, we actually all stayed dry. Hudson missed most of the fun napping in his stroller.
This was our first time sleeping as a family of four in a hotel room. All I can say is that it was better than I expected. Carter thinks there is nothing more fun than sleeping in a hotel. While I know we must have stayed in one at some point in his life, he cannot remember it and thought the idea of lots of people who don't know each other sleeping in one big "house" was wonderful. Since we were "roommates" with all of these strangers, he felt the need to speak to everyone. Both boys slept like logs.
On race day, Ashley and I were up and out early. We made it to the start line in plenty of time and it could not have been a prettier day for a run. I will say that Atlanta is much more "hilly" than I had noticed in previous visits. Unfortunately, the boys did not make it to see us cross the finish line. Evidently the traffic and hassle of getting all of the boys dressed was a little much for the daddies. They arrived forty-five minutes late.
Over all, the trip was a success and we all had a lot of fun. Below are some pictures.
