For Memorial Day Weekend we took a trip to Atlanta. It started off miserable, but ended up being a lot of fun. Like 20 minutes before we were to leave, something bad happened to Jason's servers and he couldn't fix it. So I had to drive to Atlanta (4 hours) by myself with the kids. It was pouring down rain. Luckily, our friends the Aylstocks, were going with us and they followed behind me. Jason met us up there on Saturday night, which meant I had to take all 4 kids to the really crowded aquarium without him. It was hard to push the stroller around with all the people. It's amazing I didn't lose anybody!
Jason made it just in time for the best part, which was Six Flags over Georgia. Of course, he made us get there the second the park opened, but we were a little late, and he was rushing through ahead of everybody, including his family and friends! We saw a good portion of his "behind" the whole day. He's like a little kid at a theme park. Me, I am like an old lady. My hips hurt, my back hurt and my head hurt after going on one roller coaster.  We got thunder and lightning and lots of rain toward the end of the day, so we missed a lot of the rides.
Needless to say, it was a great family trip!
I can now cross Georgia off of my 50 states to visit before I am 50!

Family Day

This is Jason flying!

The Pilot

Jason has finally finished his 8 weeks of Primaries. He is officially known by the army as a pilot.
He received good scores on his check ride with a few bumps along the way, but he did better than he thought he would. Now he's onto instruments until July.
We are very proud of him.
We were able to go to one of the airfields for family day and watch him fly. I haven't gotten the pics yet off my camera, but it was amazing and the kids loved watching him.
