Atlanta Braves Game


On July 6th, my family, Josh and I went to a Braves game in Turner Field versus the Colorado Rockies. It was a great experience as usual in Turner Field!


We had great seats in center field and were able to watch the Braves beat the Rockies 9-1. This was their 9,997th all-time win!!

Watching baseball games are such a great idea for families during the summer!!

Steamboat Natchez

Next time you are in New Orleans, you should ride on the last steamboat on the Mississippi River- the Natchez. It's a wonderful experience for all ages! The cruise lasts for 2 hours and take you down the Mississippi while providing information about area. Our cruise narrator told us about the levee system, cargo imports and exports, hurricane damages, even old battle grounds and the old Jackson Barracks! A unique view of Jackson Square on the top and New Orleans at the bottom! Visit Steamboat Natchez for more information and reservations!!

Biking around Acadia

The major highlights of the park like Thunder Hole and the top of Cadillac Mountain are, but the Carriage Trail includes many trails around lakes and along the coast that are only for biking, hiking or horseback. We were able to go along two of these trails during our 4 hour bike rental from Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop.

Even though we were riding around in the middle of the afternoon, it wasn't very hot out at all! The Georgia girl in me was so surprised that I wasn't dripping sweat outside in July but we had delightful weather and delig...

Pennington Balloon Festival

On August 6th and 7th, I went to the Balloon Festival in Baton Rouge! There were the festival must-haves such as the food vendors selling funnel cakes, turkey on a stick, coconut shrimp on a stick and many other foods that have no nutritional value at all,,,,, there were festival games such as a rock climbing wall and an inflatable human hamster ball thing.... and then there were the balloons!! Yummy!!! Josh was really into taking pictures as well It's starting to fill up!! Both nights were supposed to start with a mass ascension but they couldn't go up either night due to storm clouds being within a certain distance from the field. The highlight of both nights though was the balloon glow! We got to watch 20-30 hot air balloons fill up with air and then the announcer synchronized their fire lighting so that the field was filled with the lights from the balloons at once and then the balloons would all randomly flick their lights on and off. Both were so beautiful and t...
