Day 5 continued: fresh air

The aquarium was across the street from Centennial Olympic Park so we walked around there for a bit. They had two fun playgrounds that the girls loved. Amelia spent her time collecting leaves and organizing them. Elsa spent her time climbing and sliding and making friends with anyone who was willing. They also had some fun fountains there. Everyone had fun playing in the fountain shaped like the Olympic rings. It was nice to be out of the crowds and in the fresh air. The weather was perfect.













We found an amazing burger place for dinner called Flip Burger Boutique. They had the most interesting burger concoctions and everything was delicious.

I went with a turkey burger with avocado:


Ben's burger had caramelized onions, blue cheese, and red wine jam:


The girls devoured their grilled cheese. The onion rings and fries were also good with lots of yummy dipping sauces:


The shakes were awesome. We tried their popular Krispy Kreme shake. It tasted exactly like a vanilla shake with a Krispy Kreme glazed donut in it:


The nutella and burnt marshmallow shake was my favorite:


After dinner we drove around Grant Park in Atlanta until it got too dark. It was so beautiful there and we wished we had more time to spend exploring Atlanta.


We also drove around the Capitol:


We drove from Atlanta to Charlotte, NC that night so we would only have 6 hours left to drive on Saturday.

  1. I can relate to so many of your posts! Fun! We went to Flip Burger a few years ago and it was really fun. I was a huge fan of Richard Blais from Top Chef but I was a tiny disappointed that the fun fried sides (pickles, etc.) were all really greasy. I got the same milkshakes!
