Road Trip

Today we decided on a nice family trip to Athens. It is only about an hour and a half away so we thought it would be a great day. We start off with a late breakfast at [Waffo Hoouse] Waffle House. Dillon Loves Waffle House. After breakfast we are on our way. About 45 minutes in, hell maybe a half an hour who knows, the kids are fighting and Scott and I are wondering if we should go back home. We kept driving. Then stopped 15 minutes later so the kids could pee. We got to Athens and went to the State Botanical Gardens. We carried the double stroller down four flights of stairs, Super!!!!
We were inside and the kids are enjoying looking at the plants but Chloe is yelling look at that pretty purple flower, an Orchid. So we make it outside into the gardens and look for a shady place so I can feed Piper. A shady bench is soon scored and Piper is able to eat. Ethan starts running around and Chloe follows. Then Ethan actually listens and come to sit on the bench, but not Chloe she is running up and down the path. Dillon wants out of the stroller so Scott let him out and he starts messing with the plants. So then in the stroller he goes. Then runner girl proclaims she is tired and wants to sit in the stroller too. So I hold Pi and Scott pushes Chloe and Dillon in the stroller. We walk around and look through the gardens. When we start to melt and I can feel the boob sweat starting to drip, we decide we have seen enough and trek back to the car.
Chloe is evicted from the stroller because Scott now has to carry/pull the damn thing up four flights of stairs. Dillon thought the bumps were fun. Scott did not. The AC in the car felt so good.
We decided to drive through Athens, the kids loved all the bulldogs. Athens has different painted bulldogs all over town. Much like Chicago did with the cows. Dillon's favorite is the Santa Dog and Chloe liked the one with the sunflowers. Ethan really liked the one that had a suit and tie in front of a bank????? Capitalist Dog???
The ride home was heaven all four kids slept. It was a great day!!!!! Tomorrow is operation get ready for school on Monday.
