Christmas in Atlanta

A couple of Fridays ago [I'm way behind due to the overwhelm-ed-ness of blogging about our roadtrip], Grandma took the day off and we headed down to the big city to see the sights.  It started because we wanted to see the Tuba Christmas concert and evolved into well-while-we're-down-here-already-let's-check-that-out-too kind of day.

So we started our adventure at the Macy's Pink Pig, which was a first for all of us.  I'm glad to say I did it, but it wasn't really all that impressive!  A long line for a three minute ride in a pink train.  Oh well!  We got the pictures, stickers, and even a stuffed pig thanks to Grandma and we can check that off our list!

Next we went to the Tuba Christmas concert.  It was decent, but certainly not what it was in its hayday.  Coleson and I both played in it three or four years about ten years ago and it was huge and awesome.  There were waayy less people this year and the location wasn't nearly as nice.  Guess I'm getting old.  You know, back in my day...

We also visited the new Christmas on Peachtree.  The kids loved riding the train over and over and over again.  There was also a model train, a rock wall, scooter thingys to sit on, Santa, and snow. 

It was a long and tiring day, but lots of fun!!  Merry Christmas season!
