Atlanta

Every year for our Anniversary, Kelly and I try to go somewhere overnight just the two of us. Kelly also has to take a training class for work out of state once a year. I've been able to tag along to a few of these. Kelly usually gets to pick where he gets to go. This year he found out that there was a training the week of our anniversary in Atlanta Georgia. Those of you who know Kelly well know that he is a HUGE Atlanta Braves fan and the Braves just happened to be in town while we were going to be there. Kelly's birthday is 2 weeks before our anniversary so we decided to get him some tickets to the game. Because this is his team and probably one of the few chances he will be able to see the Braves play on their home field, not to mention the love of his life Chipper Jones, we got really good seats. They were 5th row behind the backstop. They were awesome. Our tickets also came with dinner in the 715 VIP lounge. That was really cool.


























Turner Field.



This is the original fence that Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run over.

The wonderful Chipper Jones.



Of course they won!!

On our actual anniversary, Kelly & I along with the other couples that went with us were able to attend the Atlanta Temple. They had just reopened it 2 days before we went after having been closed for more than a year for remodeling. That was really cool. The people there were so nice.

We had a wonderful trip. I'm really glad we got to go.
