Grandparent Tour - Part 3

Carly and I have returned from the third (and final) part of our Grandparent Tour. Our final trip took us to Georgia for Julia's gradation from UGA. Dave flew out on Monday morning, so Carly and I departed on Tuesday morning after Carly's swimming lesson. We had a wonderful trip down. Carly played with various books and toys from here to Anderson. We then stopped for lunch and Carly was able to play in the indoor playground. We then loaded back into the car, where Carly proceeded to fall asleep and sleep the remainder of our trip.

On Wednesday, she and I went down to the Georgia Aquarium and looked at all of the exhibits at least once. Thursday, our adventures led us to the Atlanta Zoo. Carly, her Grandma, and I headed to the zoo shortly after rush hour and spent over 2.5 hours exploring many of the exhibits. While she did seem to be more interested in watching the many children visiting the zoo that day, she did try to pull herself out of her stroller while looking at the kangaroos. We also got to see a baby panda bear, 3 baby warthogs, and a baby giraffe.

Carly's excitement did not end with the zoo on Thursday. When we arrived back at her grandparents' home she was able to meet her Aunt Sharon and see her Uncle Jamie again. She was later on able to meet Ms. Emily (Aunt Sharon's mom) and see even more family! Unfortunately this excitement caused some bedtime difficulties. But thankfully she was willing to go to sleep before we left to go get Dave from the airport.

Friday was a low key morning, but we made sure to make up for it after nap time. Dave and I departed for Athens to watch and celebrate Julia's graduation. Carly stayed home and played with her cousins Benjamin and Samuel (thank you cousin Jessica and Ms. Emily).

Saturday started quite early (especially since the "middle generation" didn't get home until 4am); however we had a wonderful second celebration for Julia's graduation.
