After leaving Florida Zak, Pip and I made a stop in Atlanta where Zak spent most of his childhood/teenage years growing up. I love Atlanta and really enjoy visiting our family there especially because there is a Chick Fil A on every corner! While we were there for a few short days we were able to catch a Braves game.. they lost but who cares, we were in America drinking American beer watching American baseball!!
After Georgia we stopped in North Carolina to see some more of Zak's family and his friend Tyler was totally awesome and made a trip down from Virginia to visit us while we were there! Anytime we visit the Charlotte area it isn't complete without a trip to the Whitewater Center, where people seeking a thrill can ride rapids while the Olympic trials aren't in town!
From North Carolina we flew to Ohio, where Zak was born and where we were married back in 2009! We had such a great time visiting everyone in Ohio and loved seeing all of our family!
Zak and our nephew Alex at the Cincinnati Zoo
Ok so it was really hot at the Zoo (it must have been at least 100F!) and there were kids everywhere.. don't judge us for having a beer at 10am, ok? Or was it the turtle you were looking at?
And a trip to Ohio is not complete without mexican food and debauchery with all of the cousins!
Zak and Emily!
Jackie (my sister in law) and her boyfriend Chris
Zak's awesome cousins! :)
So we did it, we managed to visit all of our family from the south to the north and had an incredible time... next blog will continue on to the 'vacation' part of our vacation!!
