Thankfully the weather held up, and we were able to go with the Mechwarts for a few hours. Living in the area for 15 years or so, I was surprised that I had never been before. We were excited to take the girls as well... and knew that Sophie would have a good time on some of the smaller rides. We would definitely go again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over Labor Day weekend, we went with some friends to Rosemary Beach, FL. It was a blast! All in all, there were 6 "adults" and 4 kids under two years old. We rented a beach house a short 5 minute walk to the water and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, clear water, and great company! It was fun to see all the kids play with each other and just have some time to get away. Here are some of the best pictures from our trip!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ran the <a href="http://www.atlantatrackclub.org/peachtree.htm" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.atlantatrackclub.org/peachtree.htm?referer=');">Peachtree Roadrace</a> early Saturday morning with a buddy from church and a buddy from work. It was a lot of fun (no stopping, all business!). I met up with Jen and the girls at my parents house (they had been hanging out there in the morning). But, after the early morning run, I (and Soph) needed a nap.  As we were about to leave to head home, we went outside and saw Sophie and my Dad doing a little impromptu sprinkler session. Fun times! Later in the evening, we hung out with Kevin and Kimberly at their house--ate dinner and did a few fireworks (sparklers and the "Purple Rain").</p>
