Little Grady in the Big City

Last weekend Grady and Mama made the 2 hour drive to Atlanta to celebrate Mama's birthday together. We enjoyed a full day at the AMAZING aquarium (biggest in the world!), ate dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (so cute), stayed overnight downtown at a very nice place, and then finished off the trip with some fun at Olympic Park. I loved having that special time with my little Grady, and I know he did too. I took LOTS of pictures and video, so I will try to stick to the best ones here...



There was a really neat kids play area with touch tanks, a climbing area, slides, and a huge pretend boat that G loved. Grady grabbed a shrimp out of the touch tank, and it just about jumped out of the tank - quite funny.

Wishing in the fountain. He said "I wish we could stay here forever" and "I wish Mama could always be with me."



That's our hotel behind him - great location!



They had a fun playground too!
