We had such a wonderful week in Atlanta! We visited the Georgia Aquarium, Andrew and Lisa Fisher(friends from college), the park, Daddy's work, and got acquainted with the city. Atlanta is a beautiful city and there are rolling hills and so many trees. I can't wait to see the leaves when the seasons change. On Friday, we drove to Wedowee, Alabama to Josh's boss's lakehouse. On Saturday, we drove to Talladega for our first Nascar race. Even if you are not a Nascar fan (which I am not), it was an amazing experience to get the VIP treatment. We had golf carts, food, drinks, went down to the track, and watched the race from the Aaron's suite. Stella had a great time seeing all of the strange sights. On Sunday, we had to drive back to Atlanta to catch our flight to Houston. Stella was such a trooper with the planes, trains, and automobiles. We were literally on the road or in the air from 9:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. What a day!

Josh's coworkers are great and I look forward to getting to know them better. I can't wait to move now!

Can you tell she was impressed?

Talladega for the Aaron's 312 race-she was wearing a Michael Waltrip (their former driver) outfit that Josh's boss found for her. She looked very Nascar-ish. It says "Caution-Rookie Driver" on the back.
Our picture with Lucky Dog (Aaron's mascot) at Talladega. She was really excited about him until he came up to us and then she didn't want to be near him. She may have hurt his feelings.
First flight-she did so well! We were very proud of her.
