Fourth Of July

Over the years we have developed a nice 4th of July tradition. We head to Atlanta for my annual running of the Peachtree Road Race followed by what has grown into a huge pool-side bbq at Nana and Papa-T's house where we spend hours catching up with family and friends. It is always a special time because it is one of only a handful of days during the year when we have time to visit and our children develop friendships. I hope it is a tradition that will continue for many years.

Even though we were only in Atlanta for a few days, I managed to take quite a few pictures. What follows is a somewhat random sampling:

L and J at this incredible play area inside of the mall. Atlanta is filled with things like that to make life easier and more enjoyable:
