FAITH-FAMILY-FITNESS: Atlanta Weekend

Last Christmas my Dad gave Ken and my brother Jake gift certificates to drive racecars at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. We finally coordinated everyone being able to go at the same time this past weekend. Since Ken was going to be in Atlanta the kids and I decided to tag along and we made a fun weekend out of it. We got to Atlanta late Friday night. Ken and Jake had to be at the race track at 7:30a.m(6:30a.m. our time) so Dad took them to the track and got them situated and then came back later to pick up me and the kids from the hotel. We hung out at the track for a while while Jake and Ken rode and drove and then headed to grab lunch at Olive Garden and after that decided to hit up the Georgia Aquarium. We have never been to that particular aquarium and I must say I was in awe....I love stuff like that. We got there late so we only had 2 hours to roam around but managed to cover everything quickly. We want to go back when we have more time. After the aquarium we headed to a different hotel for the night and my step-mom, my step-brother and my brother's girlfriend and daughter had made it to Atlanta to join us. We all headed to Cracker Barrel for dinner and back to the hotel to call it a night. Sunday morning we got up and ate breakfast at Shoneys (can you tell I come from a family that likes to eat?....this might be why I have such a struggle with weight!) and then had a couple of hours to hang out in the room before Six Flags opened at noon. We headed to Six Flags for the next 6 hours and had an absolute BLAST! Kayla rode her first real roller coaster, Hayden finally got to ride on Thomas the Train and he soaked up every minute and I ended up with aching feet but we had SO much fun! I dare to say that it was actually more fun than our last trip to Disney.....

I took over 250 pics this weekend but here are just a few....
