The Vacation Comes to a Close

Once again I find myself in the Huston airport, this time waiting to go home. After one long fun week with Chels I am VERY ready to be home.

We spend most of the week fulfilling her nanny duties hanging with the kids, going to parks, and going shopping. Friday night we drove to Atlanta, GA, and stayed at a 4 star $400 dollar a night hotel. We got our room for $70. After staying at that wonderful hotel we had one jam packed Saturday! We left the hotel around 11 am, went to steak and shake for lunch (YUM), then headed to down town Atlanta. We then went to the Aquarium and the World of Coke factory. I may or may not have drank a portion of my weight in coke... Don't judge. The aquarium was absolutely incredible! So many fish! There is this tunnel you get to go through where these huge sharks, manta rays, and various other fish just swim all around you! It was incredible! The beluga whale exhibit was incredible as well. They are so oddly gorgeous!

The last thing we did on Saturday was attend the Atlanta temple open house. They have spent the past 2 years refurbishing the interior of the temple. It was absolutely stunning. The celestial room and the sealing room were my two favorites (probably because of the GORGEOUS chandeliers). It was a wonderful experience I am so glad that we decided that was what we were going to spend our saturday doing. After the temple we went to this BOMBIN rib shack called Fat Matt's. I may have died a little bit. The ribs were uh-mazing.

Well it is now time to board my plane. The words I leave you with today are from a song by adele, "sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."
