I decided to tag along with Mike to Atlanta while he participated in an ENT conference. We brought Madeline along with us and left the boys at home while the girls stayed at the Garlocks for the weekend. We stayed with John and Amy and had a great time hanging out with them. John and I were able to go on a 9.3-mile trail run together at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. It was such a great run and also very challenging. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching General Conference together while enjoying Amy’s cinnamon rolls. After Mike got back from his conference we all headed to the town of Rosewell to eat at a cute little southern restaurant called Roux On Canton. We had fried okra and pickles for our appetizer, which was very southern. On Sunday we watched some more General Conference, ate more cinnamon rolls and went for a walk around the neighborhood. On Monday Amy and I took Madeline to Stone Mountain. It was decorated for Halloween, which was fun. We took the Sky ride up to the top of Stone Mountain and walked around on top. Then we came back down and rode the train with Madeline. Later that night, Kyle and Natalie watched Madeline while Mike, John, Amy and I went to the Simple Minds concert. It was so much fun to hear some of those songs we grew up hearing. On Tuesday we headed to the Atlanta Aquarium with Madeline before getting on our plane home. Madeline LOVED the whale shark and kept calling it Destiny from the movie “Find Dory.” It was fun to walk around the city of Atlanta before heading on our plane back home to Colorado.
