We surprised Joyce with a birthday cake and we were able to  help her celebrate her big day. 
We were able to relax and play some mini golf at our resort as well.

This vacation was very relaxing, and it was a fun trip to get us out of Mankato. We were continuously busy so by the final day when we stopped going going going we all slept most of the drive back to Mankato. We will continue to remember and dream about our fun times in Alexandria.

Atlanta Georgia 2011

This trip took us all the way to Atlanta, Georgia. We left on June 6 and we were gone for a total of 5 days. Come take a glance at our vacation to Georgia.


Our first night in Atlanta after we got settled into our hotel we decided to walk to the great restaurant called Jalapeno Charlie's.

We kicked off our tours the next day by starting at the Coca Cola factory. We got to see a lot of old Coca Cola collectibles, and browse through many different Coca Cola bottle designs.
We even got to see a 4-D show while touring the Coca Cola factory.

We toured the park where the 1996 Olymic games took place. While here the local Weather Channel interviewed us and asked us questions about what we like to do on warm afternoons.

The next day we toured the Atlanta Zoo, where we had a lot of fun seeing and learning new facts about the animals.



We also went to the Atlanta aquarium. Here we got to see many different kinda of colorful fish.
We had a lot of fun in Georgia, and can't wait to make it back to experience more fun.
