Sherrill's Ford

Today was a traveling day.  Now that the entire family was in town (Ethan came in late last night), we were ready to head to our next destination.

On our way out of Georgia, Ethan really wanted to see some of Atlanta since he had missed all of our adventures from the past couple of days.  So, the logical place to go?  The new Sun Trust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves.  Originally, before Ethan got his job with UPS, he was going to be on the whole trip with us, so we got Stan tickets to see the Diamondbacks play the Braves on our last day before we flew home. Unfortunately, Ethan wasn't able to take any time off since he was new, so he was going to miss out on that, so we took him to the stadium.  Sun Trust Park is the brand new stadium for the Braves, opened this past March.  It was a beautiful complex.

He got his Braves hat and was ready for his photo op.

After our visit to the stadium, we hit the road...destination Sherrill's Ford, NC to visit my aunt and uncle.  Here are a few sites from the drive.

A giant peach water tower.

Drove through South Carolina

Then to North Carolina

It's a whole different culture out here.

We arrived at my Aunt Judy and Uncle Bill's cabin on the lake.  This is where we will stay for the next several days.  Sheryl's Ford is about 45 minutes north of Charlotte, NC.   We are all beat from the jet lag and the traveling.

Ethan hopped in a kayak right away

The view from the dock.  We sat on the dock this evening right before the sun went down and saw fireflies.  It was the first time all four of us has ever seen them.  It was quite exciting.  

We are looking forward to spending the next few days kayaking, jet skiing, and visiting with family.
