My parents and little bro, Zach, came to visit us this past week. It was wonderful to show off the place I love so much (and not be the one packing up & travelling for the visit)! We had a great time, with a nice balance of sightseeing vs. relaxing together. One "must" I knew my family (Dad especially) would enjoy: The Marietta Diner. It's famous for it's huge menu, low prices, and monstrous selection of naughty desserts.
The other "must-see": the world's largest aquarium, of course! They all loved it, and we loved seeing the new penguin exhibit that recently opened, and renewing our year passes! :)
For our nature selection, we spent a morning going up to Amicalola Falls (no pictures- maybe they'll share some that they took later with me), and another morning at Lake Allatoona. My family loved getting that "Northern Wisconsin" feel- only 18 miles north of ATLANTA, GEORGIA! I think my dad may have found where he wants to retire: as long as there are some big fish to be caught in this lake!
My boys loved seeing family, especially having Uncle Zach stay with us while they were here (parents stayed at a hotel). So glad they came to visit!
While smiling this way for the camera is kind of funny, I sure hope it's a phase that ends before his nose gets permanently scrunched that way.
