My Best Brenes

My best friend Laura (the horn player, not the oboe player), her husband MaynRad and their almost-2-year-old son Carlo came to visit us and meet Julia! MaynRad's requests were to eat as much fried food as possible, which we were of course able to accommodate here in the south.

Best Friends! You can't even tell Laura is 6 months pregnant, expecting a little girl in August!

We started out the week right with root beer floats in addition to fried chicken!

The Brenes family are huge fans of Coke, so of course we had to go to the Coca-Cola Museum!

Coca-Cola Museum

Carlo is excited about Coke! He is the cutest little boy, and oh my gosh, he knows more lyrics to songs than I do!

Getting ready for the 3-D movie!

Diva Brown? No, it's Diva Laura!

MaynRad is the coolest!

The secret vault where the Coca-Cola formula is kept.

Vending machines from around the world!

And of course no trip is complete to Peachtree City without several golf cart rides. Carlo LOVED steering the wheel! (when the golfcart wasn't moving, that is...)

Downtown Atlanta

The sign reads: CHURCH (it's a bar)

Poor MaynRad got stuck in the back of the Mazda 5 with the strollers. He couldn't have gotten out if he wanted to!

We also went to the GA Aquarium.

Laura and Lara

Julia didn't really appreciate the aquarium and slept through most of it...

Until the very end when she finally woke up. I think she liked the crabs the best...

Laura and Carlo going into the penguin exhibit. I love Carlo's bear crawl in the picture!

Inside with the penguins!

The albino alligator

Poisonous tree dart frogs.

  It seems I didn't get any pictures of Greg, but we did get to see him every once in a while for dinner after work. This was the first time our husbands got to meet, and it is about time! 

Thank you Laura, MaynRad and Carlo for visiting us! We had an amazing time and can't wait until you come back again! Next time we'll try and find some fried candybars!
