What 3/4 of us did on our summer vacation

For the week leading up to the 4th, we were planning to drive as a family down to Atlanta to spend a few days there before heading to Lake Hartwell to relax.  But John started a new job the week before, so three girls loaded on to an airplane and made the journey more quickly, but without our guy.  

It was quite an action packed week.  In Atlanta, we hit the Georgia Aquarium, the pool, and Stone Mountain.

The girls were easy to wrangle in the matching dresses!  Mid-week we met Nana and Papi at the lake.  It was awesome!  We swam and tubed and chased fireflies. 

Then the girls celebrated our Nation's independence in awesome new pajamas from Nana.
