Journey of a Kumquat: Week 119 and Week 32.5

Sorry again for the late post - computer was down yesterday. Had a great experience at the Apple store (they really take retail to the next level). Fixed two DVD's stuck in my computer... I think that this is a Charlotte thing (not to blame her, but even in my zombie mommy state I don't think I would put a DVD upside down in my computer). All is better now, thank goodness.

Blast from the past this week - Amy Green (Bender) was in Madison and she came over to our house! We haven't seen each other in twenty years. Facebook is cool for chance meetings like this. Great to see you Amy!

Kathy and Bob and Shirley both visited the girls our final weekend in Madison. We ate at the Weary Traveler (food was good but I generally don't like onion mixed in my burgers) and Monte's Blue Plate with Dan and Laura which was super cute and good. The Rutlins also invited us for dinner on Saturday - it was great to finally see their house and spend a nice evening with Bizjaks and all the kids!

We left Wisconsin Monday morning on an on-time departure at 6AM from Madison to Atlanta. Though the mechanics of this flight were great, everything else was pretty difficult. The security process was so ridiculous (word of warning - if you fly through Wisconsin's airports, they take their security job VERY seriously) and almost missed our plane. We got on the plane a minute before they closed the door and were the only kids there (as this is a commuter work flight). Charlotte cried the ENTIRE time except in the final descent into Atlanta - excruciating. We did have the greatest flight attendant though - Adrieene Williams. She was so amazing with the girls (even grumpy Charlotte!).

We have now spent a few days in Atlanta and it is HOT. In a strange turn of events I am driving (Drakes - can you believe it? Matt wanted ME to drive. I can't believe it either). We are in an apartment style hotel (two bedrooms) which is great! We have done our annual shopping trip to the outlets and we have met the cousins. Sabrina wants to touch Sophia constantly ('finally! Another little person!). Charlotte only wants to sleep in the big bed with Imee. Charlotte had a runny nose and sneezed on Sophia (again! C needs to be sequestered) and now Sophia is sick (coughing, sneezing, rubbing her ear). Wish us luck on the plane to Boston tomorrow!

We took Min to The Spence for dinner and it was good - a great destination restaurant the next time you are by the new areas of GA Tech. Reva also met us and the family at Chili's (my favorite Atlanta spot - after all these years!). So great to see Rev!

Here is Rev and the girls at Chili's - she is not happy this is a video instead of a picture!
