Tuesday - Tourist Day

We started our day with Dave [Amber had work/school - all day] touring Atlanta and the surrounding areas.  We went to the Martin Luther King Jr. historical site where we watched a few clips and toured the museum

Then we headed to President Jimmy Carter's Presidential Center

a quick attempt at a family picture in the Carter flower gardens

we went inside for a little while but the girls needed some fresh air...so  we came out and played on the lawn while Daddy and Uncle Dave looked around

have you ever ate at Varsity's?? If you're ever in GA that is...

cute little drive in known for their quick, friendly service and  frozen orange drinks.
we had cheeseburgers, cheese dogs and chili cheese dogs coming out of our ears!!  Can't wait for next time...
