zoo atlanta.

 After a visit to Truist Park the night before and an overnight stay at a hotel in The Battery, we woke up the next morning at spent a few hours at a new-to-us place: Zoo Atlanta!

We packed as much into this little 30-hour trip, while still prioritizing a slower pace. At the zoo, we wandered (and chased giddy kiddos) from animal to animal for four hours. It was such a treat to explore this fun zoo -- it was so much bigger and exciting than we thought it would be!

We are big fans of zoo days, in general, and we had the best morning following the map and doing a few extra things like enjoying some Dippin' Dots and taking a train ride inside the park. The zoo staff was extremely helpful, knowledgable, and friendly, too!

I think we'll have to visit here again one day soon!

 The Braves didn't win, but it felt like they did with all the fun we were having. So thankful for such an amazing first visit to Truist Park!

We ate ballpark food like champs, proudly wore our team gear, watched an epic fireworks show, had a few moments of frustration, and even got our five seconds of fame on the jumbotron thanks to Braxton's sign he made!

I hadn't been to a Braves game since 2014, and this was the kids' first game ever. It was pretty special to take them on this fun adventure and cheer loudly for a team we watch on TV often. Fun fact: the last time I was at a Braves game was when I was about 14 weeks pregnant. I surprised TJ with tickets for our 3rd wedding anniversary, and we had the best day together!

Now, I love that our kiddos get to adventure with us!

This is was a night we will always remember. All four of us, I hope.

Full heart.

Even more so since this trip was sponsored in-part by the Gator baseball team and credit card points. We are so, so grateful!

GO BRAVES!
