Buckhead

What a neat blessing!  The kids and I got to go to Buckhead (north of Atlanta) and spend the part of a week there with Justin, who was at a NCF conference.  It was fun to be in the city, walking everywhere and just be together.  We also got the privilege of watching the hotel fish-it was a red beta named Buck.   Yes, it was a real fish! The kids watched it swim around and 'sleep'. They were thrilled to be allowed such a honor!  
And the Intercontinental hotel was great.  Clean room, nice staff, great workout room, pool-though it was a wee bit chilly :), live music to dance too and within easy walking distance to food, shopping and MARTA-the train.  Here are a few snapshots of our time while Justin was working.  Oh, we did get to eat at the buffet of the conference which was a huge blessing-easy and yummy-and we were able to attend the concert for Christy Nockles which was great fun!

We walked around quite a bit and happened upon this art work.  Seven golden foxes-I am sure they were there for kids to ride, right?


                                                   Self timer...the kids thought I was hilarious.  :)
 Our view of Buckhead...such fun to watch the city come alive during the day.

 We watched a lot of construction, cars, helicopters, and motocycles zoom by.
 All in all, with 4 people in one room, it turned out well.  We'd do it again if only for the chance to travel with Daddy!
