Yesterday we began our last road trip of the summer. Our destination this time- Atlanta, Georgia! My brother Willie is graduating from Georgia Tech with his PhD in Engineering- what a feat that is! And since most of our Harrison family will be there, we wanted to be there as well. As a super-duper added bonus- Willie and Krista added their sweet little Caroline to their family last Saturday! We were so excited that we got to meet their little lady, too!
This was another long drive for our little family- technically 8 hours. But with all of our stops, it took us about 11. I have to say I was so proud of our kiddos- they were troopers! I think we have learned how to tackle the road tripping over the summer and we just made sure to take lots of breaks and remember that it really didn't matter how long it took us to get there! The portable DVD player is also a huge life saver!!! But Tori and Garrett both hit the breaking point- luckily it was when we had 20-ish minutes left before we reached our hotel. It actually was pretty funny- Tori sat in her chair yelling, "get me out of here" over and over! Get her out we did, along with the rest of us- we were so glad to be in Atlanta!
Here is Tori enjoying her bed and being able to be out of the car!!!
This morning Tori wasted no time enlisting Aunt Anna as a playmate!
For most of the day, we hung out at Willie and Krista's apartment. Tori was in heaven to have a whole room of new toys to play with!!!
I even got to play Audiologist for a bit! Willie requested an ear cleaning for his graduation present!!!
Tori and Garrett had so much fun playing with their cousins!
Parker, Henry, Tori, and Lincoln had a ball playing Candyland with Aunt Anna!
We all enjoyed getting to meet Caroline- she is so sweet! I love how excited Garrett was to meet her as well!!!
Just a fun picture of our little lady- love that she has one shoe off and one shoe on!
Story time with Aunt Anna!
Grandma Harrison was working on Caroline's blanket a bit tonight and Tori decided to be her big helper. She had a grand time with her "silk!"
And here was another fun introduction- we finally got to meet Jer and Kim's little London! She is so adorable!!! Garrett had a great time getting to know her a bit!
Hurrah for our first full day in Georgia- we had so much fun with our family! And it's kind of fun seeing them all in a new place!!!
